Android Auto - turn off annoying notifications!

[Display]

We give you tips on how notifications can be adapted to the current infotainment platforms of the vehicles in Android Auto. With the help of Android Auto, Google's multimedia platform, not only are important and popular apps and functions finding their way into the car, but more and more notifications are also visible and visible audible. However, the whistling and ringing tones of the apps can impair your ability to concentrate and strain your nerves. Thank God you can adjust these tones individually or switch them off so as not to be distracted from traffic. In addition, the presentation of the apps can be completely tailored to your needs.

Android Auto - turn off annoying notifications!

As soon as driving has become a routine, it is possible to work from home in the car and complete all the tasks that arise. This is probably the opinion of many drivers, even if it is very dangerous and you are very distracted by the traffic, which can easily lead to serious accidents. For example, playing casino online while stationary is really exciting, but while driving? A no-go! Google has also recognized this and has reduced the functionality of Android Auto to the essentials. That's why drivers should also reduce the warning sounds in their notifications to a minimum. The fact that Android Auto displays all incoming notifications from your smartphone means you can also have the messages you receive read out to you so that you are less distracted by the traffic. You can also dictate a reply to an incoming messenger message, which will then be transmitted from Android directly to your smartphone. Unfortunately, this convenience is not yet available in all apps, but only in certain messenger services.

many setting options on the smartphone

You just have to rummage more closely in the settings of Android Auto to familiarize yourself with the technology, whereby you can change the settings regarding theconstantly appearing faults“Can change. There are a total of five options for setting these disturbances. It is best if you click on the hamburger menu, where you will find the settings at the top. If you scroll down a little further, the section "Notifications"Where you can find various setting options. Here you will find, for example, the functions to hide all content, turn off all media notifications and ringtones, and deactivate all notifications. Now I will explain to you what the individual points are for.

What are the settings for Android Auto?

  • You can set up an optical preview of your messages, which only works when you are stationary so that you are not distracted from the traffic because you are looking at the display. You can find this function under "Preview incoming messages".
  • If you want to drive undisturbed, you can switch off the notifications so that you are no longer annoyed by a whistle or signal tone. If you still want to access your incoming messages, you can find your incoming notifications in the notification center, which uses the same symbol for incoming messages as Twitter. However, there is no uniform system, which is why the way the notifications are displayed can differ from vehicle to vehicle. Under "show notifications“You can control the function.

For example, if you belong to a large WhatsApp group, you can deactivate the signal tones for group messages so that you are only notified when a message arrives that is addressed directly to you. This means you are not distracted by annoying and useless messages while driving, which may arrive every minute. Under the menu item "show notifications“, You can switch off the function. After all, it is irrelevant during the journey whether you are currently running a live bet or have won poker. However, you should check it out quickly while standing!

Disable media notifications

You can also deactivate the media notification, which we think is pointless, as it gives a signal every time a new track is played on the radio. Even when playing music that is stored on a USB stick, a whistle is emitted with every song change. This can lead to massive disruptions in traffic, and you can also see the song title and artist on the large version of the player anyway. Under "View media notifications“You can switch the function on and off. A signal tone is generated for every incoming message. This can be quite annoying in the long run and restrict concentration. Via the menu item "No sound for notifications“You can also switch off these tones without any problems. The functions mentioned are very practical, but unfortunately the app is no longer technically up-to-date, as there are no filter options for individual apps, and also no notification channels or intelligent sorting and summaries. One can only hope that Google will fix the vulnerabilities with the next update.
