• Google could reverse an Android Auto UI change that has upset many users. • Instead of using colors from your phone’s wallpaper, Android Auto’s media player could use the album art as the background once again. • However, while testing this reversal, Google appears to have messed up another visual aspect in Android Auto.

Last month, Google began testing a simpler Material You-based interface for Android Auto, featuring background colors that match your phone’s wallpaper. With this change, the background behind the media player for apps such as Spotify and YouTube Music was adapted to match the dominant colors of the wallpapers, upsetting users due to its bland appearance. However, Google now appears to be testing a return to the older design.
