  • Android Auto is no longer working on older versions of Android.
  • Users are noticing that the minimum OS requirement is now being enforced.
  • Google recently changed the requirement to Android 9 or higher.

If you’re an Android Auto user with an old phone running on Android 8 or older, you may have had a rude awakening today. Android Auto users are noticing that their phones no longer support the feature.

In the past, all you needed was a phone running Android 6 or newer. However, that changed in July 2022, when the minimum requirement was raised to Android 8. The most recent change happened this July when the bar was set to Android 9 or higher.
