Did anyone else's Android Auto stop working (connecting) after the latest update? Google added some security enhancements:
Android 16 introduces a new USB protection feature, part of its Advanced Protection Mode, which automatically blocks data connections from new USB devices when the phone is locked to prevent attacks. This requires the user to unlock the phone and then re-insert the device for it to be recognized, though the device will still charge at a slower rate while locked.
Key USB options in Android 16
USB data protection:
This is the most significant new feature. When your phone is locked, all new USB data connections are blocked to prevent "juice jacking" or other attacks where a compromised public USB port could be used to access your data or install malware.
Now when I plug in the USB cord into my phone, I am presented with the following options but selecting File Transfer/Android Auto still doesn't work after disconnecting and reconnecting. Anyone else having the same issue?
