Google has finally acknowledged the text notification bug on Android Auto, and the company now says it’s already working on developing a fix for the impacted devices.
Several users discovered in the last few weeks that Android Auto no longer issues any notifications for incoming text messages, and while this primarily affected Google Pixel devices with the Google Messages app, the bug also made it to other Android devices in one form or another.
For example, some Samsung phone owners also claimed that they no longer get notifications for new messages on their devices, even with the stock Messages app installed on their Android phones.
As we told you earlier this week, a few users discovered that downgrading to Android Auto 5.5 sometimes resolved the whole thing, though worth emphasizing is that this was a workaround that didn’t resolve the problem for everybody.
And now a member of the Android Auto says a fix is already in the works, though no ETA can be shared at the moment because of obvious reasons.
“Thank you for the information. We are aware of the issue and working on the fix. We will let you know when the fix is rolled out. Thanks!” the Android Auto Community Specialist says.
What we do know, however, is that a new Android Auto version is just around the corner, and it could get the go-ahead any day now. On the other hand, there are basically no chances for this new update to bring a fix for the text notification problem, especially because the whole thing was acknowledged only a few hours ago, at a time when the next Android Auto build should internally be ready.
Unfortunately, there’s no workaround that could bring notifications back to working condition, other than downgrading to Android Auto 5.5. If nothing else works for you, then this solution might be worth a try as well, especially as no ETA is available for the aforementioned fix right now.
