Car (Android Auto) Tips

Recording and Playback Launcher Icons

Due to the way Android Auto works, we have to have separate app icons in the launcher for recording and playback. You can customise which icons appear in the launcher. We recommend using the car app for recording only, and managing the recordings on your phone when not in the car, in which case you can remove the 'SnapVox Recordings' icon from the launcher.

Audio while recording

Any audio played by Android (e.g. music, audio books) will be paused while you do a voice note, and resume afterwards. Car audio (e.g. the radio) will not pause, but you can stop, pause or turn the volume down yourself.

Ending a recording

When recording, you can simply press the car's Back button to end the recording.

Navigation

When using navigation, even in silent mode, any navigation popups will interrupt the voice recordings. This is a feature of Android Auto which we can't change. We recommend switching off naviagtion before you record, and resuming it afterwards.
