Android native cross-screen collaboration is coming
Windows and Android can also "airdrop"
Google announced at least 13 different new software features at CES 2022, from a quick switch to previously promised software like AirPods, the ability to mirror your Android text app on a Chromebook, and more. This is part of a plan that Google calls "Better Together," and is thought to be trying to catch up with the Apple ecosystem and integrate like Apple.
The biggest update comes from Google's "Fast Pair" framework, an Android user interface whose purpose is to make it easier to pair Bluetooth headsets. This year, Google will expand it to support automatic switching between devices, faster pairing with Android TV and Google TV, and more. It will also feature the Fast Pair framework to install new smart home devices using the upcoming Matter standard, meaning it will be much easier to install new smart bulbs or door locks.
Google will also enable smartwatches running Wear OS 3 to unlock paired Android phones or Chromebooks, just as the Apple Watch unlocks an iPhone. The feature will be available "in the coming months," with the hope that more Wear OS 3 watches will be available when they do. Currently, the only smartwatch running the new operating system is Samsung's Galaxy Watch 4.
HP, Acer, and Intel will work with Google to support some Better Together features in notebooks. In the future of Windows PCs, users can use Fast Pair, text message synchronization, and Nearby Share (nearby sharing, which can be considered the native Android "AirDrop") feature. Google will also push the "Google Play" game to Windows.
Finally, there are some small highlights. On the audio side, Bose speakers and echo walls will begin to support Chromecast in the coming weeks, while spatial audio with head tracking will also be available on Android systems. Google is also working to increase support for UWB unlocked cars, and the first partner will be BMW. Volvo will use Android Auto as its native system, and it will integrate with Google's voice assistant, so you can use smart speakers to perform functions such as remote launch.
