While there are different types of error prompts appearing on the users’ screens, the “phone not compatible” is the most common message, which comes when pairing their device through the Android Auto app.

The most important this is that only the Android Auto 7.8.6 users are facing the smartphone’s compatibility issues, while there’s no report from users using the lesser version of the car companion.

A few Google staff members replied to users’ reports that the information has been forwarded to the Android Auto team. However, they have not specified any reason behind the issue or fix updates to solve the error.

In case you are also facing a similar compatibility issue when pairing your Samsung phone to Android Auto, we suggest you rollback to an earlier version or join the Beta program to get a different build.

WhatsApp video sending issue

A recent update to WhatsApp for Android users has brought an issue that is preventing users from sending videos. Spotted after updating to version v2.24.9.34, the issue shows in an error message – “Can’t send this video. Choose a different video and try again.”

This issue seems to be specific to videos that are recorded or saved directly on Android devices. Whereas, videos captured by iPhones, especially in MOV format, are not being affected and can be shared without any issues. This bug is also affecting some videos downloaded from Instagram to the device’s storage.

The video-sending issue on WhatsApp is not affecting every Android user, but it has been verified on some devices, notably the Galaxy S series. Several users reported their concerns on social media platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and more to highlight the inconvenience caused by this unexpected bug.

For those who want an immediate fix to this issue, upgrading to older WhatsApp version 2.24.8.85 is a temporary solution. As of now, WhatsApp has not issued an official statement about the issue. It’s recommended to wait for a permanent solution before proceeding with any app upgrades.
