android

The version history of the Android mobile operating system began with the public release of its first beta on November 5, 2007. The first commercial version, Android 1.0, was released on September 23, 2008. The operating system is developed by Google on a yearly cycle since at least 2011. New major releases are announced at Google I/O along with its first public beta to supported Google Pixel devices. The stable version is then released later in the year.

    MG ZS EV Android Auto . . . Woah! This is new.

    Switched on the car this morning and this is what I saw. Anyone else had this multi window screen? I kinda like it. I'm wondering if it's connected to the map update I did a couple of days ago or if it's actually an over-the-air update to the infotainment screen.

    Android Auto - Coolwalk upgrade

    This should be rolling out to most android handsets now. I'm interested to see images of the screen / hear how it works on the MG4. Has anyone received the upgrade?
