Android Auto continues to make significant strides in its development, with Beeper being the latest app to integrate with Google’s in-car experience. Beeper, known for simplifying messaging across various platforms, now allows users to connect WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Messenger, Google, Instagram, Discord, and Slack accounts all in one place.
Although Beeper initially supported Android Auto, the car experience was temporarily removed during a major redesign. However, the latest update—version 4.12.7—has brought Beeper back to Android Auto, albeit with limited functionality. Users can currently only receive and respond to messages on their phones, with plans to add support for composing new messages in future updates.
Enhanced Search and Experimental Features
Aside from the Android Auto integration, the new Beeper release includes a revamped search experience, allowing users to filter searches by network and attachment type. It also introduces experimental image recognition and other enhancements for Discord Server and Slack Workspace.
For Android Auto users, the messaging experience is crucial for staying connected while on the road. With Google Assistant powering message reading and replies, drivers can communicate safely without distractions.
Meanwhile, Android Auto itself is gearing up for a new update, with version 12.4 currently in the beta stage. Once testing is complete and any issues are resolved, Google will begin the public rollout to production devices, ensuring a smoother experience for all users.
