You can do so with a simple swipe and switch between cards, which are the available media apps installed on your device.<\/p>\n<p>The feature drops shortly after Google updated the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/android_17_comes_with_a_more_convenient_media_app_switcher-news-72932.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">media app switcher<\/a> on Android 17 QPR1 Beta 3, making it more convenient and obvious. You can do so now in Android Auto, too.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, the stable Android Auto doesn&#8217;t support media app switching at all, so you have to open the desired app manually and hit play to appear on the home screen. There&#8217;s no quick way to go back to the previous media app either.<\/p>\n<p>As the feature is still only on the Android Auto beta channel, so it will take some time before it reaches the stable channel. By the looks of it, it won&#8217;t take long, though.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/android-auto-multiple-media-cards-switching-rollout-3671893\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Via<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Android Auto beta users who run on version 17.0.162144 are reporting a new useful feature that allows you&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":700939,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[64,63,203,105],"class_list":["post-701331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mobile","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/701331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=701331"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/701331\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/700939"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=701331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=701331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=701331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
