TL;DR
- Some Android Auto users are reporting seeing an error message when attempting to reply to messages.
- The problem seems isolated to users on Google Workspace accounts.
- An update to Android Auto is expected to roll out soon, but it’s not obvious that update will solve this problem.
Android Auto seems to be acting up for some users. 9to5Google spotted today that multiple users have reported they’re unable to reply to messages from their in-car displays, but the issue seems to be contained to a relatively small group of users.
Apparently a recent bug is causing in-car Android Auto displays to throw up an error message when some users attempt to reply to messages, telling them that they need to ask their Google Workspace administrator for permission.
