Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus

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.

As part of fixing the blank screen issues, Google seeded Android Auto 7.7 and 7.8 updates. According to Google, those updates have fixed the reported blank screen issue on the Android Auto with Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series devices.

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.
