Google is enhancing its Better Together initiative with new Cross-device services for Android, including Call casting to switch devices during Google Meet calls and Instant hotspot for easy internet sharing between Android devices. These features, requiring Android 11+, will be accessible through the Google Settings app and are set to roll out soon.
Google is working on expanding "Cross-Device Services" on Android, with features like "Call Cast" for sharing video calls across devices and "Internet sharing" for sharing hotspots and Wi-Fi passwords among devices in a group. These features are expected to be part of an upcoming beta version of Google Play Services, but the rollout timeline is still unclear.
Google has released "Cross-Device Services" on the Play Store, which will allow users to access any app on their Android phone using a Chromebook. The app will enable users to reply to messages, check the status of a rideshare, or edit their shopping list from their Chromebook without having to switch devices. The feature set is much wider than the initial messaging announcement, with every app on the phone seemingly accessible. The update is currently available on Pixel phones, and app streaming is not yet live on Chromebooks.
