Android Auto has been having problems lately, and these glitches are hard to overlook. According to Android Authority, users have been dealing with a strange bug for months where the whole interface suddenly looks zoomed in. Apps and icons become so large that, in some cases, they are almost impossible to use.

This problem affects more than just one app. Google Maps and Spotify have all shown the same zoomed-in issue. What makes it even more confusing is how unpredictable it is. Some people notice only certain parts of the screen are affected, like the navigation area in split-screen, while others see the whole interface enlarged.

People have been reporting this glitch since May, according to 9to5Google, and it was mostly seen by beta users at first. Lately, though, it has started to appear in stable versions too. For example, Android Auto version 15.1, which is now widely available, has already been linked to new instances of oversized icons on the screen.

Not everyone is dealing with this issue, which only adds to the confusion. One Chevy owner on Reddit said their display stayed zoomed in for weeks, and when they connected their Pixel 3 XL with Android 12 to a newer Ford, the problem happened again. This suggests the bug is related to the phone or software, not just the car’s hardware.

No clear cause, no word from Google

So far, it remains unknown exactly what causes this bug, and Google has not commented on it yet. The problem has shown up in different versions of Android Auto and on various devices, so it’s hard to blame just one update. Some users say updating Android Auto fixed the issue for them, but others saw no improvement.

Right now, the best thing you can do is keep Android Auto updated, try reinstalling it, and use a different cable if you connect your phone with one. If the problem continues, you might have to keep experimenting until Google releases a real fix. It also helps to report the issue on forums or through feedback channels so the Android Auto team gets more information. Until then, this zoomed-in glitch will probably keep annoying some drivers.
