Android Auto 11, the latest version of the popular car system, brings many exciting interface improvements. One of the most significant changes is the new look of the app icons, which will particularly appeal to Samsung smartphone owners.
The previous round icons have been replaced with a “squircle” style, a combination of a square and a circle that is characteristic of Samsung’s One UI skin. This makes Android Auto visually more consistent with the Samsung interface. Not only the shape but also the appearance of certain icons, such as Settings or Phone, has been adapted to the icons used in Samsung smartphones.
Another novelty is the redesigned icons indicating the signal strength and battery level. These icons also resemble the icons on Samsung smartphones.
However, it is worth noting that the new icons are not exclusive to Samsung users. The 9to5Google service noticed that when connecting an OPPO smartphone, the app icons also change to a more square shape, characteristic of the ColorOS skin. However, it is not known if this also occurs on other smartphones and skins.
The beta version of Android Auto 11 is currently available for testing. However, it is important to remember that beta versions may contain bugs that can negatively affect the use of the software. Therefore, it is recommended to install it only for people who want to test the described changes.
