TL;DR

  • Ahead of the big Android Auto redesign, the app is getting a new icon.
  • Android Auto ditches the blue icon for a green one.
  • The new icon also features rounder corners than before.

Android Auto is set to receive a major makeover in the coming months, with more fluid elements, fewer rigid shapes, widget support, and video playback — finally! So anyone who still considers Android Auto inferior (at least, visually) to Apple CarPlay will no longer have their reasons to complain. The exact date for this rollout remains unclear at this moment, but with Google having crossed major milestones in terms of hardware launches — though the Googlebook launch still remains, we could expect it to pour its energy into bringing the promised software upgrades.

We’re already seeing signs that Google is making progress in this direction, and the first indication is a new, upgraded icon for Android Auto. With version 17.6.663424 of Android Auto, we’ve spotted a new icon with subtle variations and a new color.
