Google has updated its Android Auto support page to make Android 11 the minimum Android version required, meaning phones running Android 10 will no longer be supported for wired Android Auto.
Android Auto minimum version change
The support page previously listed Android 9 Pie as the minimum required version. Google has removed both Android 9 and Android 10 from that list, leaving Android 11 as the minimum version to access the in-car infotainment platform. It was first reported last month that Android 10 would no longer support Android Auto, and the updated official page now reflects that change.
Samsung Galaxy models affected
There are several Samsung phones that received Android 10 as their last major OS upgrade and are therefore affected. Those include the Galaxy Note 9 series, the Galaxy S9 series, Galaxy A80 and Galaxy A50, among others. If a Samsung phone still runs Android 10, users will need a device running Android 11 or later to use wired Android Auto.
