In a connected world, people are in constant communication with those close to them. To meet this demand for communication, companies are creating applications that allow people to connect to others in the easiest way possible.

One such company is the social media giant Facebook with its Messenger app which makes messaging very easy. Facebook Messenger can now be integrated to Google's Android Auto, which is now a standalone app.

Google aims to bring the Android Auto to every car as the go to infotainment system. Messenger users can now integrate their accounts with Android Auto. The integration allows users to receive, hear, and reply to a message while on the road.

Other apps have already been integrated into Android Auto like Google Maps, and Spotify. The addition of Messenger gives drivers a safer way to reply to messages without having to take their eyes off the road. The integration will allow the user to touch a button to have the message read out loud and reply using Android Auto's voice command function.

To use the feature, users must have an Android phone. Android Auto and Facebook Messenger must also be installed on the device to make full use of the features. Google's approach to Android Auto is more open as compared to its main competitor Apple and its CarPlay. This new feature can help people stay connected without sacrificing safety while they are on the road.
