Chrome Os turns ten, and Google has well thought of celebrating by releasing new features to improve productivity, connectivity and more. Much like how Handoff works on macOS, the tech giant is optimizing the synergy between Chromebook and Android smartphone. All this is made possible thanks to the new App Phone Hub, which allows you to connect the two devices for control the phone remotely. You can then activate the hotspot, deactivate the ringtone or enable the geolocation function in an increasingly practical and convenient way.
Chrome Os: the new Phone Hub feature arrives
To celebrate its XNUMXth birthday, Chrome Os is equipped with the new function Phone Hub, which allows users to control their Android smartphone directly from their Chromebook. You can then answer the phone through the notebook, check the battery status and even open the last two tabs you were visiting in Chrome. And that's not all. Google has also updated its Wi-Fi sync function. In this way your Chromebook can automatically connect to any network you have already connected to from your Android smartphone or from another device with Chrome Os.
But these do not seem to be the only innovations introduced by Google. Apparently, in the coming months the company could implement the “Nearby Share” function”On Chromebooks, thus allowing users to transfer files between compatible devices wirelessly more quickly. In short, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Chrome Os, Google proves to be really well-intentioned to improve the potential of its tool. After all, it is not so strange that the giant has decided to take inspiration from the MacOS Handoff function, which seems to be very popular among Apple users. It remains only to understand how the public will really take this novelty, but we are sure that Google has worked to fully satisfy every need.
