Android Auto updates fixed blank screen issue for Galaxy S22: Google
Android Auto is a well-known companion that allows you to use some of your smartphone’s features while driving a compatible car. The platform mainly works on Google Assistant so you can operate features by just saying “Hey Google.”
The Galaxy S22 series, which was released back in February this year, reportedly has blank screen issues with the Android Auto service. Consumers reported about the issue on multiple platforms including Google Community and social.

Most of the affected devices reported having blank display issues in which the display of the device gets vacant and doesn’t show any app while continuing to present bottom bar controls. An Android Auto team member confirmed that Google has “implemented a fix” that is present in Android Auto 7.7 and newer.
The blank screen issue has been fixed on some devices after upgrading to Android Auto version 7.7 or 7.8 as it restores compatibility between the S22 and various cars and head units. Meanwhile, some Galaxy S22 series smartphone users are still facing the same problem of Android Auto blank screen.
Seeing consumers’ reports, it looks like Google is required to work more on the Android Auto so it can be completely worthy with the Galaxy S22 series devices. Have you upgraded Android Auto to the latest version? Feel free to share the status of the issue through social media.

Google is testing a new way to share and forward texts and chats from Messages for Android that is a Conversation Picker feature. Instead of a pop-up window, you will see a full-screen page where you can choose who to send the message to.
Users can search for a contact or choose one from the list of recent conversations. In addition, they can view the last message in each conversation to help them make a decision as well as select multiple recipients and tap Next to proceed to the chat screen.
The new page also shows all your contacts below the recent conversations. However, it does not show their phone numbers, which might be confusing if users have multiple entries for the same person.
This new feature is not widely available yet, even in the beta version of Google Messages. It might be a server-side switch that Google is testing with a small group of users. It is not clear when it will be rolled out to everyone.
