Android auto app icon not appearing

StephenTFerrari — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 20:26:35 GMT

Just got off the phone with Samsung support and they told me to post this issue.

When connecting my new S25 Ultra to my cars Andoid Auto, my streaming music apps and news app that used to show up when plugged in my S23 Ultra do not show up (i.e my Tidal music app. When you go into the Android auto launcher, they do not appear. The Samsung support engineer verified all permissions, etc where correct so this has to be a bug relating to Android auto, Android 15 and/or UI 7. Anyone seen this issue?

I have sent request to Tidal to verify their app is android 15 compatible. Will update if and when I get a reply.

Android Auto

Why we can't use 3rd parties?

Just Samsung Music?

Thanks!!!

Problem is resolved. Amazon music and Tidal just updated their apps within the last hour (both the Samsung support engineer and myself check several times during trouble shooting). Once updated, they appear in the Andoid auto launcher.

I'm still having this issue. My car will not connect to Android Auto on a Samsung S25. Will not show Google maps on my car's display. This is a major issue for me.
