Android Auto update might fix cellular signal icon – is it back for you?

Android Auto users have been experiencing a broken cellular signal icon in their status bar for the past few months. The bottom or side bar displays apps, time, battery life, and the signal status using icons. However, the cellular signal icon would sometimes disappear randomly and then reappear just as unpredictably. This left a noticeable gap in the Android Auto interface, causing some confusion among users.

Recently, Google seems to have resolved this issue with the Android Auto update 17.8. Several users on Reddit reported that after installing the latest update, the cellular signal icon returned to Android Auto. While the reports are limited to a few users, one individual claimed that clearing their app cache following the update installation helped fix the problem.

The extent to which the cellular signal icon issue has been resolved remains unclear, as there are only a handful of confirmed cases. Readers are encouraged to share their experiences in the comments section to provide further insight.
