Hey all, looking for advice in case I'm doing this wrong, as it's a but frustrating for me on a regular basis. Here's my issue:
I use Pocket Casts for my podcasts, and wireless Android Auto on my Samsung S21, but Pocket Casts does not come up on Android Auto, even though they support it (https://support.pocketcasts.com/article/android-auto/). I've even gone into the Android Auto settings on my phone to configure the launcher apps and Pocket Casts is not listed anywhere in there. This means that when I listen to podcasts and get in the car and want to keep listening to the podcast in the car, it's a whole hassle... since my phone automatically connects to Wireless Android Auto everytime I get in, I can't just turn on Bluetooth streaming to the car...if I tap on the Bluetooth card at the bottom of the screen it forces me through this whole process of disconnecting wireless AA, going to the phone list, picking my phone, choosing the Bluetooth option, giving me a warning that it's gonna drop wireless AA, then connecting the Bluetooth. Even once I do all that it still won't play audio from my phone...I still have to tap on the bluetooth card at the bottom half of the screen, THEN it will start playing the audio from my phone via BT. All this could technically be avoided if Pocket Casts showed up in AA but at least for me it won't. That may be a separate issue (if anyone has a solution for that lemme know!). Google Podcasts is the only one that shows in Android Auto, but that kinda sucks and I'd prefer not to switch to it if I don't have to.
So if you also have wireless AA connect by default, and want to switch to Bluetooth audio, is this the workflow you have to go through too, or is there a faster way? Thanks!
