Google might be developing a new connecting feature for
Android that links Android devices signed into the same Google account. It could
be used for switching between devices during calls, as well as sharing internet
connection between devices more swiftly.
These features are similar to Apple’s Continuity features, including
the company’s call-switching feature “iPhone Mobile Calls” that lets users attend
calls from their Apple devices signed into the same Apple ID.
The speculated Android connecting feature, according to a
preview shared by Android expert Mashal Rahman, will be found as the ‘Link Your
Devices’ menu within the Devices & Sharing setting.
Additionally, from the preview of the speculated call switching
feature, it seems like the option would also enable users to receive calls from
another Android phone, unlike Apple’s ‘iPhone Mobile Calls’ that does not enable
receiving calls from another iPhone.
The news of these features is not confirmed as Google has not yet officially put out a statement regarding their development or expected release.
