Do you use a dual sim phone in sync with your car? If yes then you need to learn about the Android Auto Dual Sim Update that will enable you to place calls from both your sims while your phone is connected to the car’s android system.
Google’s Android Auto allows users to connect their smartphones to compatible vehicles. It enables you to stream music, access Google Maps, and place calls from the screen on your car’s head unit. You can also access other apps.
Android Auto Dual Sim Update
The service was initially launched in 2015. And ever since its inception the company has been quite slow to fix problems and add new features. One of the major inconveniences for dual-SIM smartphone users has been placing calls via Android Auto.
The app did not allow you to pick the SIM you want to place a call. The Android Auto automatically selected the default SIM (primary SIM). Now, it is finally receiving support for dual-SIM smartphones.
The new update will make it easier to place a call while driving. A Reddit user claims that the latest version of Android Auto asks users to pick a SIM while placing calls from a dual-SIM smartphone.
Once you attempt to place a call on the app, a pop-up appears. It asks you to pick between SIM 1 and SIM 2. Now you can choose which SIM to use while placing calls. This change may not seem like a big deal for those in the West.
But Android Auto users in markets like Asia, where dual SIM phones are quite prevalent, will definitely appreciate it. The dual SIM support is rolling out with the Android Auto App version 7.1.614554. To try it out, update Android Auto to the latest version from the Google Play Store.
