Google is actively working on improving the connectivity and interaction among Android devices taking inspiration from Apple. The newest additions to Google Play services bring a re-branded “cross-device service” now called “Devices and Sharing,” which shows that the company is paying more attention to user-friendliness and device connectivity. The version 24.06.12 brings three significant features: include call transfer, hotspot sharing, and Wi-Fi sharing.
Call transfer feature facilitates users to shift a call from one device to another without any break, if both devices are associated with the same Google account. The hotspot sharing allows a device to control another device’s Wi-Fi hotspot connection for added convenience. Wi-Fi sharing streamlines the process of sharing Wi-Fi passwords between devices, hence improving the connectivity.
Google is not about to stop there; they are working on a feature called “Device Groups” that will allow users to group various devices under one Google account, and this will raise the level of interaction. Those efforts highlight Google’s dedication to delivering a more unified and uninterrupted experience for Android users, competing with Apple in the realm of the ecosystem. The purpose of these updates is to create a more consistent, user-friendly, and interconnected Android device ecosystem.
