Android users can use Internet Sharing to share access between devices connected to the same Google account.

Google has begun rolling out Android cross-device services to supported devices. This feature lets users switch between devices while using specific apps or performing specified tasks. Google first introduced the cross-device service for Android in May. However, they were not implemented at the time.

The company is now introducing two new features to the service: Call Casting and Internet Sharing. Users must first enable the cross-device service to take advantage of these features. The company has also stated that additional features will be released in the future.

Google announced the cross-device service’s rollout on its Android support page. When multiple devices are activated and placed nearby, they can recognize one another and switch between tasks. However, for the service to work, the user must have signed into all of the devices using the same Google account, and Bluetooth must be enabled on both devices.

These features are available on Android phones and tablets running Android 11 or later. Notably, Google has not made the service available for Android Go devices. The tech giant has also stated that when the service is enabled, other devices may be able to see the user’s device name and other details. Furthermore, previously paired devices will be able to identify the user’s device.

Call Casting and Internet Sharing are the two features that are being rolled out. The former enables users to make video calls from one device to another using the same Google account. Internet Sharing allows linked devices to share access to the Internet. It will enable Android devices to connect to the primary smartphone via an instant hotspot.
