  "summary": "Android Auto’s upcoming version 18.0 beta may soon offer support for dual-SIM phones, according to new findings. Currently, the platform displays only one cellular status bar icon, regardless of whether a device has two SIMs. However, code within the beta suggests Google is progressing toward enabling system-wide light and dark theme options. Additionally, the beta includes development on features that could excite dual-SIM phone owners, indicating a significant design makeover for Android Auto.",
