Media apps in Android Auto are about to get a big design boost
TL;DR
  • Google is bringing new features to media apps on Android Auto.
  • Developers will be able to use new components, expanded headers, spotlight sections, and more to offer a better app experience.
  • Apps like Spotify, YouTube Music, Gaana, and others are already incorporating the new features.

At the Android Show: I/O Edition 2026 last week, Google shared details about Gemini Intelligence and Googlebooks and also announced a massive makeover for Android Auto, including Material 3 Expressive design, widgets, and video apps. Now, alongside the I/O announcements, the company has shared more details about the updates coming to media apps on Android Auto in a new developer blog post.
