Google has officially started rolling out Android Auto 17.0 beta, giving early users access to the newest version of its in-car platform. While a jump to version 17 sounds like a major upgrade, users expecting dramatic changes may need to wait a little longer. The Android Auto 17.0 beta mainly focuses on under-the-hood improvements, stability enhancements, and performance refinements rather than introducing major user-facing features.

Of all the features of One UI 8.5, many people are more interested in knowing if the Galaxy S23 got AirDrop support via Quick Share with the update. According to the latest report, Google has released a list of additional phones, including the Pixel 8a, that now support AirDrop interoperability. Unfortunately, it doesn’t mean support will be coming to mid-range phones, but phones that support “chip-level networking tweak.” It doesn’t seem the Galaxy S23…
