Those Reddit reports make it would like a fairly widespread issue, with one user with an earlyGalaxy S22+unit mentioning his device also fails to load Android Auto correctly. Older Galaxy phones and other Android devices — including the Pixel 6 — are mentioned as functioning properly, seemingly ruling out other variables. Meanwhile,a thread on Samsung’s own forumshas counter-reports of people saying it works fine on their unit, so evidently, it’s not affecting everyone.

A report on theAndroid Auto support forumshas been marked as a duplicate, linking to a generic troubleshooting page for failed connections. Despite replies being disabled, it’s still marked as a trending topic with nearly 100 upvotes as of publishing time. Samsung is yet to comment on this issue, but in the meantime, if you’re affected by this issue, you can send feedback on the Android Auto app or make your voice heard in existing threads.
