Google Developing New Cross-Device Sharing for Android Phones and Tablets
-
Google is developing new cross-device services to allow Android devices signed into the same Google Account to seamlessly share data like Wi-Fi passwords and video calls.
-
Users will be able to form "device groups" and control which specific features they want to share across devices, as well as remove devices from the group.
-
The new interface for these services is already available in developer options, suggesting Google may announce the features soon, possibly in the upcoming March Feature Drop.
-
Devices will have to manually confirm joining the cross-device group to avoid unintentional linking of devices.
-
The features appear nearly finished based on traces in developer options, so Google may be holding off on announcing cross-device services until the March Feature Drop.
