Overview
- Android Auto users and beta testers report that the GameSnacks icon is missing from the in-car app launcher, sometimes remaining only in launcher settings.
- The disappearance was first widely noted on Android Auto 15.2 beta, while some users on the stable track also say the games have vanished.
- GameSnacks, a set of lightweight HTML5 titles from Google’s Area 120 added in 2021, was designed for parked-only play with driving lockouts for safety.
- Before the disappearance, users reported a recurring error that repeatedly showed the parked-only alert even when it should not.
- The reports come as Google tests fuller in-car gaming options in Android Auto, including support for native Android titles and fullscreen experiences earlier this year.
