I’m with you, I don’t get the draw - I’m not a fan of the clutter it would cause but whatever floats their boat, it’s not sinking mine :P.

I feel like it’s the same as collecting shoes or purses - fashion/collecting just of something else. The abe meme is spot on.

Bahaha nice catch.

The updates has been one of my biggest drivers, they have minimal bloateare, and, the phones are like the sweet spot of value/performance for what i do daily.

That is absolutely hilarious. They should’ve offered him @twitter in exchange, it would only be fair…

10:10 wholesome response.

Just blocked the reddit@lemmy.world and my feed is soooo much better.

Really frustrating that all of those above was spammed into all of those communities.

This is what I mean. Why isn’t there an option to not auto connect? Why do we need to select per car? It really does feel odd.

Far and away my least favorite aspect of Android auto is not having a simple, easy option to toggle auto connect.

Another poster shared how to disable auto connect through settings - when I went that route my phone no longer would connect to the car. I had to do it, however because it would auto activate my Bluetooth and fight my wife’s phone to connect in our car.

Android auto started as a phenomenal idea, but through its quest to be as convenient as possible, it went too far and became incredibly burdensome if you have multiusers or don’t want to always connect.

Sorry for my rant, Android auto has really been a frustration for me recently, enough to the point where I’ve uninstalled it entirely and am back to using my phone on a mount.
