Google has begun rolling out two new features that will expand the experience available on synced consumer Android devices.

In particular, there is now an option to transfer video calls to nearby Android smartphones and tablets, as well as a function to automatically connect Android and Chrome OS devices to one access point on the user’s smartphone.

Thus, the video call broadcast feature allows you to switch calls “from one of your devices to another with the same Google account. For example, if a user wants to transfer a video call to another device, the app will display a list of nearby Android devices available for transfer.

The Internet sharing feature allows you to automatically share access to the hotspot with your devices.” This feature works on Chromebooks and Android devices with the same Google account. To automatically connect to one access point, you must activate Bluetooth and the option to automatically detect geolocation on your gadgets.

These innovations are available on devices with Android 11 and later versions of the software platform on which Google services version 24.28.34 and higher are installed.
