- Google is testing a revised media player layout for Android Auto that moves the Play/Pause button.
- The Play/Pause button now has a larger background area and swaps placement with the Previous button.
- These changes affect multiple apps but are only visible on the home screen card UI, not full app views.
Google recently showed off Gemini for Android Auto, giving us a glimpse of the platform’s much-anticipated upgrade. Beyond this, we know Google is also working on major Android Auto features like a climate control UI and even a light theme. Alongside these, Google is also experimenting with smaller changes, such as moving around the media playback buttons, which has left us scratching our heads a little.
