Many Android users are having problems with the Android Auto app. People are saying that the app does not connect properly. Both wired and wireless connections are having trouble. Phones that used to connect easily are now disconnecting or not connecting at all.

The problem likely to have started after recent Android updates. Some users on Reddit and Google forums said that Android Auto sometimes does not start. If it does start, it often disconnects quickly. Wired connections are having more problems than wireless, but wireless is also affected.

Some users think Android 16’s Advanced Protection Mode is causing this. This feature may block USB connections when the phone is locked. Turning off this mode (via Android Headlines) in Settings >> Security and Privacy >> Advanced Protection might help, but it is not a permanent fix.

The problem is reported by several Samsung Galaxy users. People with Galaxy S23, S24, S25, and S26 series phones say Android Auto is not working reliably. Google Pixel phones are also affected, mainly after the March update. Some Motorola phones have problems too, but Samsung phones seem to have the most complaints.

Google has not officially said anything about this problem yet. Users are trying different solutions like restarting phones, clearing the app, or even factory resets, but many say nothing fixes it completely. For now, affected users can try using wireless Android Auto or turning off Advanced Protection Mode.

Until Google fixes this issue, Samsung and other Android users may continue to have issues connecting their phones to Android Auto in the car. Stay tuned for more information.
