Google is on a mission to enhance how Android devices connect and work with each other, very evidently, taking a leaf out of Apple‘s book. The tech company is known for its innovation, and now it’s focusing on making Android devices more user-friendly and interconnected. Recent updates to Google Play services reveal exciting developments that promise to improve the way Android and ChromeOS devices communicate.

The updated ‘cross-device service’ is now called ‘Devices and Sharing’.

The latest version, 24.06.12, introduces an updated “cross-device service,” now called “Devices and Sharing.” Exactly as the name suggests, it brings with it three practical features that could change how we use our devices: call transfer, hotspot sharing, and Wi-Fi sharing.

Google Devices and Sharing

The call transfer feature lets you move a call from one device to another without dropping it, as long as both devices are linked to the same Google account. Hotspot sharing is all about ease, allowing one device to control another’s Wi-Fi hotspot connection. Then there’s Wi-Fi sharing, which makes it easier to share Wi-Fi passwords between devices (apart from QR code sharing), so staying connected is simpler than ever.

But Google isn’t stopping there. They’re also working on something called “Device Groups.” This upcoming feature will let users group multiple devices under one Google account, enabling new levels of interaction between them. With these updates, the California-based organization is clearly working hard to create a more seamless and integrated experience for Android users, challenging Apple’s dominance in the ‘ecosystem’ arena. These improvements are expected to make life with Android devices more cohesive, user-friendly, and connected.
