Google Maps Removes Key Navigation Feature, Frustrating Android Users

Google Maps has removed the media playback controls from its Android app, which previously allowed users to easily control music and podcasts while navigating, potentially making road trips more frustrating. The removal appears to be a bug or an intentional change, with Google working on a fix, but the feature still remains on iOS. This change may lead users to switch to alternative navigation apps like Waze that still offer media controls.
