Apart from Google apps, there’s a heavy crowd of Samsung apps, which significantly reduces storage availability due to cache and app data. The company brings a cloned version of almost every Google app such as Galaxy Store, Smart Switch, Samsung Wallet, and Samsung Internet.
After setting up your newly purchased Samsung smartphone, you can uninstall the unused or cloned versions of apps. Some apps can not be uninstalled, but you can still disable them so they can’t consume battery or occupy app data or app cache.

Android Auto app integrates with various messaging applications and allows drivers to manage their messages through voice commands. However, some Android Auto users have encountered issues with the WhatsApp messaging app.
According to the information via 9to5Google, several users have reported that they can no longer send replies or new messages through WhatsApp on Android Auto. The issue seems to have started last week, and now, it is affecting several users.
This issue is surfacing on platforms like Google’s forums and Reddit. Users are stating that Google Assistant can show or read WhatsApp messages, but they can’t use it to send messages or start new chats.
The cause of this problem does not appear to be related to any specific update of the Android Auto app. It is more likely due to an unintended change on the server side. Google has not yet made any announcement regarding this issue or provided a timeline for when it will be resolved.
For the time being, users can still send messages using their phones, but this is not recommended while driving. Hopefully, Google will soon acknowledge this issue and provide a solution.
