Android, the world's most popular mobile operating system, has been working hard to make it easy for users to connect and use multiple devices together. With the help of its partners, Android has been developing products that allow your phones, laptops, TVs, and cars to work seamlessly together, regardless of the brand. In this article, we will explore seven ways Android is making it easier to connect and use multiple devices.
Effortless Connectivity with Fast Pair
Fast Pair is a feature introduced on Android in 2017 that makes connecting your accessories to your devices a breeze. It instantly finds and pairs your nearby accessories, including over 300 headphone models from popular brands like Beats, JBL, OnePlus and Sony. Additionally, it works with Matter, allowing you to connect your smart home devices to your network, Google Home, and your favorite apps from your phone. Brands like Eve Systems, Tuya, Phillips Hue and Nanoleaf are working with Android to build Matter-enabled experiences.
Seamless Sharing with Nearby Share
In 2020, Android introduced Nearby Share, making it easy to share content with others from your device. With this feature, you can easily send files, photos, and documents to anyone, and it is now available on nearly 3 billion devices.
Cast Your Entertainment to Your TV
Android has made casting your online entertainment to your TV affordable and easy with Chromecast, launched in 2013. Now casting capabilities have been extended to more devices, allowing you to bring your entertainment and apps from your phone to your TV, smart speaker or soundbar. You can even control your media with voice commands using Google Assistant. With more supported audio and video apps, casting has become one of the most-used Android features.
Wear OS - Get More Done with Your Phone and Wearables
Wear OS is Android's platform for wearables, and since the launch of Wear OS 3 in 2021, there have been more than three times as many active Wear OS watches around the world. The latest version of Wear OS allows you to use the Camera app to level up your selfies, and remotely control the camera shutter on Pixel phones. You can even use the Google Home app to control compatible smart home devices, like your thermostat and lights. Wear OS also allows you to track your workout with Fitbit or Adidas Running on your watch. There are now more watches with Wear OS to choose from, including the Pixel Watch, Samsung Galaxy Watch5 series, and Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition.
Effortless Phone Management with Phone Hub in ChromeOS
With Phone Hub in ChromeOS, it's easy to view and respond to your Android phone's notifications from messaging apps directly from your laptop. This means you can easily stay in touch with your phone and stay productive with your laptop. New Chromebooks like the ASUS Chromebook Vibe CX34 Flip and HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook have this feature included, making it even easier to stay connected and productive on-the-go.
Use Your Phone as Your Google TV Remote
The Google TV app allows you to use your phone as a remote control for your TV, browse and search for content, and get personalized recommendations. This means you can easily find and watch your favorite shows, movies, and live TV, all from the convenience of your phone. And with the ability to cast content from your phone to your TV, you can easily share your entertainment with others.
In conclusion, Android continues to make it easier to connect and use multiple devices together. From fast and easy device pairing, to easy content sharing, to bringing your entertainment to your TV, Android has made it simple to have a seamless multi-device experience. Additionally, with new features like Phone Hub in ChromeOS, Wear OS and Google TV, you can stay connected, productive, and entertained, all from one device.
This week, many of these features will be showcased at CES, the largest technology conference in the world, highlighting the progress that Android has made in delivering multi-device experiences to people everywhere. It’s clear that the future of technology is all about connecting devices and making them work together seamlessly. With Android, you can be sure that you're always at the forefront of this technology, connecting devices and making them work better together.
