Android Auto may soon better support dual-SIM phones

Android Auto is gearing up for a significant update with its 18.0 beta version, which includes important design and functionality changes. One of the highlights of this new version is the potential support for status icons for phones using dual SIMs, something that is currently not possible. At present, the platform only displays a single cellular signal icon regardless of whether the device has one or two SIM cards.

## Why it matters This improvement is significant for dual-SIM phone users, who have been unable to view the status of both phone lines in Android Auto until now. The ability to see both icons could facilitate call and message management, enhancing the user experience while driving.

## What we know In addition to the dual-SIM support, the Android Auto beta also suggests that Google is working on system-wide light and dark theme options, which could provide a more personalized and adaptive user experience. These changes are part of a broader effort by Google to modernize and enhance the Android Auto interface.

## What’s still unclear It has not yet been confirmed when these features will be available in the stable version of Android Auto. Dual-SIM phone users will need to wait for more information regarding the official rollout and how these changes will be implemented in practice.
