Google seems to be including Material You accent colours to Android Auto, with some colourful accents exhibiting up within the newest updates.
Android Auto 13.4 is now rolling out to all customers and, whereas there’s not a lot to see behind the scenes, there’s a notable user-facing change. Google has launched Material You to Android Auto, with new colourful accents exhibiting up all through the UI to match what’s in your telephone.
Or, at the very least that’s beginning to occur.
While utilizing Android Auto 13.4 on a Pixel 9 Pro Fold, we observed that Google has utilized accent colours to system parts together with buttons, toggles, and the background colours of playing cards and menus. This already existed a really restricted capability inside music apps, which change their UI parts to match album artwork, however this transformation works all through the system itself. It doesn’t appear to use to apps on Android Auto.
Notable locations the place you may see the altered colours embrace within the Settings menu, in notifications, and within the notification middle. You should have the setting for matching your telephone’s wallpaper turned on to see the colours.
From what we are able to inform, this isn’t “completed.” The colours are inconsistent to vary if you replace the colours in your telephone, generally solely altering in case you power cease the Android Auto app and reconnect, or not altering in any respect.
Presumably, Google will probably be making additional updates over time.
Let us know within the feedback in case you’re seeing this transformation in your car, and the way it’s working for you!
