Android Auto’s signal bars are finally returning to dashboards

TL;DR Earlier this year, Android Auto’s cellular signal bars disappeared.

Google is now rolling out a fix for the issue.

If you want to see how strong your cellular signal strength is while you’re driving, you can just look at the signal bar icon on Android Auto. Or, at least, that used to be the case before the icon disappeared earlier this year. While this bug has been a months-long frustration for many Android Auto users, there’s finally some light at the end of the tunnel.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been a little over six months since the initial reports came in. In recent weeks, however, some users said that the signal bars returned after updating to Android Auto v17.8. The only problem is that, at the time, Android Auto v17.8 was a beta build.
