With a new update, Google is making it easier to transfer calls and share Wi-Fi hotspots across your Android devices. The feature was initially announced during the Google I/O 2024 developer conference but is finally rolling out now.

How to use Automatic Sharing

Once your device receives the update, navigate to Settings > Google > Devices and Sharing > Cross-device services to set up a device group. This group can include phones, tablets, and Chromebooks, allowing them to share calls and hotspots effortlessly.

Once connected, you'll have access to Call Casting, which lets you move calls between nearby devices signed into your Google account. This functionality currently requires Google Meet, but it may extend to other apps in the future.

The other feature in the update simplifies internet sharing by automatically connecting Android phones, tablets, and Chromebooks to a shared hotspot, eliminating the need to input passwords. Samsung users won’t benefit from this feature, however, as Google’s internet sharing doesn’t support Samsung devices. Instead, Samsung users can continue using their existing auto-hotspot feature.

In essence, Google’s new update brings Android closer to Apple’s Handoff capabilities, making your digital life a bit more seamless.
