The latest beta of apple music for android includes support for android auto

According to information recently published by the specialized website Android Police, the latest beta version of the streaming music service Apple Music includes support for the Android Auto platform.

Apple Music will expand its presence outside of iOS

Apple Music was the "great" leap of the company beyond its platforms for desktop and mobile devices, so the possible future arrival of the service on the Android Auto platform falls within a logic that should occur sooner or later. And in this line, from Android Police point out that Apple seems to be testing the integration of Apple Music with Android Auto. Discovered in the latest beta version of the Android music service, the Apple Music app now includes support for the Android Auto platform.

Thanks to this compatibility, Android smartphone owners can control the playback of Apple Music songs directly from the information and entertainment center in their vehicle. Similar to CarPlay, Android Auto encourages drivers to focus less on their smartphones while driving, thanks to a touchscreen located in the front, next to the steering wheel.

The beta version of Apple Music (version 2.6.0) on Android also includes many other features that are already present for Apple Music users on iOS such as lyrics searches, updated artist pages, various performance improvements and bug fixes., etc.

Android Auto is an alternative to Apple's CarPlay, offering customers in every ecosystem a way to get directions, make phone calls, check and send text messages, interact with voice assistants, and more.
