On January 9, local time, Google announced a number of Android updates during the CES show to help users complete more work on mobile phones, laptops, Bluetooth, TVs, smart homes and cars。
Work with Samsung to come up with new sharing solutions
As early as 2020, Google has the function of nearby sharing, which can easily share files across devices。Samsung has a similar feature called Quick Share。
At the show, Google announced a partnership with Samsung to integrate its best sharing solutions into a single cross-Android solution under the name Quick Share。Both parties have integrated these experiences and created the best default built-in options for sharing peer-to-peer content across all types of devices in the Android and Chromebook ecosystems.。To make sharing between devices more seamless, Google and Samsung are working with leading PC makers such as LG to extend Quick Share to Windows PCs as a pre-installed app.。
This means that users can see a list of available devices nearby by simply clicking on the new quick share icon。Users can still control their privacy and can choose who can discover their device and send files in the phone's settings。Quick Share will begin rolling out next month to devices that currently support nearby sharing。
Collaborate with TikTok to bring projection capabilities to more apps and devices
Since the launch of Chromecast, Google has been working to bring its casting capabilities to more apps and devices。During this CES show, Google announced that from now on, users can display short films on TikTok App on TVs equipped with Chromecast, Google's TV projection assistant.。
This feature is similar to Apple's AirPlay service, which allows users to share videos from their iPhone with an Apple TV set-top box.。
In addition, Google will also introduce a new projection function, which will allow users to launch podcasts on Android phones and then transfer them to Pixel tablets at home。This feature is available for YouTube Music and Spotify。
Separately, Google said it will expand support for quick pairing to Chromecast via Google TV starting next month and will expand to more Google TV devices later this year.。After users put the accessory in pairing mode, they can connect compatible headphones or speakers with just one tap and start enjoying their favorite movies and shows。
Google apps and services landing more cars
Google says electric cars compatible with Android Auto can share real-time battery information with Google Maps - which will first be applied to the Ford Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning in the coming months, and other models will follow。Owners of these two models can share real-time battery information with Google Maps, so they can estimate the battery power required for the journey, and suggest where to charge at the charging station along the way and how long it will take to charge the vehicle。
Google's weather app is now also available for cars with built-in Google. Users can learn about changing weather conditions through "hourly weather forecast," "itinerary view" and so on directly on the dashboard。
Google says Android Auto is currently compatible with almost all major car brands。This year, Google will "join hands" with more car brands, including Nissan, Ford and Lincoln, and Porsche is expected to join in the future.。
In addition, Google also said that digital car keys will soon be launched on some Volvo cars, and will be launched on more mobile phones and car brands in the future。Using the digital car key, users can unlock, lock and start the car using a supported Android phone, and securely share the key with friends and family on iOS or Android phones。
