Google launched its first cross-device service for Android, introducing call casting and Internet sharing to users with devices under the same Google account. This rollout marks the commencement of the tech giant’s strategy to enhance connectivity across multiple devices, allowing users to switch seamlessly between them while engaged in specific activities or using certain applications.

The newly introduced services, which were first announced in May but not immediately rolled out, now allow users to cast calls and share internet connections between devices. To use these features, users must activate the cross-device functionality. This requires all devices to be signed into the same Google account and have Bluetooth enabled to communicate.

Google is now rolling out cross-device services, which lets you access data and features across different Android devices. Call casting and internet sharing are the first such features to arrive.

Compatibility and Availability

These features are compatible with Android smartphones or tablets running Android 11 or later. It’s important to note that these services are unavailable on Android Go devices. Google has also advised that activating this service will make the user’s device name and other select information visible to nearby devices. Devices previously paired will recognize the user’s device once the service is activated.

Specific Service Functions

  1. Call Casting: This feature allows users to cast video calls from one device to another, provided both are logged into the same Google account.
  2. Internet Sharing: This service enables devices to share internet access. It turns a primary device into an instant hotspot, connecting other devices seamlessly. However, this feature is unavailable on Samsung devices, which can use Samsung’s Auto Hotspot function to achieve similar results.

Activating Cross-Device Services

To enable these services, users should:

  • Go to ‘Settings’ on their Android device.
  • Select ‘Google’ followed by ‘Devices & sharing.’
  • Choose ‘Cross-device services’ and toggle it on.
  • Ensure Bluetooth is turned on.

After completing these steps, users can enjoy a more integrated experience across their Android devices, enhancing productivity and ease of use. Google has promised that this service will roll out additional features, further expanding its functionality.
