Android Auto: coming the feature to silence notifications with version 17.9
Published
Google is updating Android Auto, the system that lets you use some smartphone apps on the car's display. According to the source consulted, with version 17.9 the app should offer a new option to silence notifications while driving.
The news concerns safety while driving. Receiving messages or alerts on the car's screen can distract the driver, and simpler management of notifications can help keep attention on the road. The available information, however, is still limited and does not fully explain how the new setting will work.
The update is also linked to Android 17, the next version of Google's mobile operating system. The source's title points to 2026 as the reference period, but no official details have been provided about a specific date of availability in Italy or other European countries.
For now it is not possible to know with certainty when the feature will be available to all users. Those who use Android Auto can check in the app's settings and in the Google Play Store updates whether the novelty has already been installed. Google's official information will be the most reliable source for verifying the details.
