Android Auto’s Easter Egg won’t let you down
Want to enjoy an Easter Egg in the car? You can because in Android Auto there is a hidden Easter Egg waiting for you to be revealed.

Every Android version traditionally comes with an Easter Egg. For example, Lollipop had the ‘fake version’ of Flappy Bird, Android 9.0 Pie had a large letter P with all kinds of colored lines and Android 10 came with a hidden puzzle game. In Android 11, cats took center stage, and Android 12’s Easter Egg is entirely Material You style. However, it does not stop at the operating system for smartphones, because one has now also been discovered in Android Auto.
Actually, it’s a rickroll that doesn’t lead you to a fun puzzle game, but treats you to a dose of nostalgia. Unsuspectingly, you will hear redhead Rick Astley in the car with his 80s hit Never Gonna Give You Up. The Easter Egg is done Mishal Rahman discovered on Reddit.
