Minimized audio controls
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Standardized and persistent playback controls allow drivers to manage active
audio sessions during application multitasking without compromising vehicle
control.
Designed for simplicity, the minimized controls supplement, rather than replace,
the full-featured playback interfaces in primary media widgets or apps. They can
provide essential functionality when the media app isn't in the foreground.
Minimized audio controls support both active media sessions and ongoing call
management within the system UI.
To reduce cognitive load and ensure predictability, minimized controls must
appear in a consistent location within the system UI containers like the dock.
You can determine the specific location based on screen configuration.

Interaction model
The controls appear when the active streaming app is no longer in focus
or visible. If you navigate to the streaming app or a screen where the
audio widget is visible, such as the home screen, the controls disappear to
avoid confusion and redundancy.
