An update to the Google Allo app lets you view and respond to your messages through Android Auto’s hands-free interface.
Allo was supposed to be the app the finally unified messaging in Android, but it hasn’t actually worked out that way. However, Google keeps plugging away at it. Along with recent improvements like an Assistant shortcut and new animated emoji, Google has also added a new feature in its latest Allo update: Android Auto support.
It’s hard to believe Google waited this long to build hands-free support for its newest messaging apps, but Allo messages never actually appeared on the main Android Auto screen.
