What’s new: Android 17 introduces a feature called “Continue On,” enabling seamless app handoff between devices. Users can start a task on one Android device and continue it on another, similar to Apple’s Handoff. This feature allows for transitions from mobile to tablet and supports app-to-web handoffs, depending on app developer choices.
Who’s affected
Android users with devices running Android 17 will benefit from the Continue On feature, particularly those who use multiple devices like smartphones and tablets.
What to do
- Ensure your devices are updated to Android 17 to utilize the Continue On feature.
- Check app compatibility for handoff capabilities, especially for apps like Google Docs and Gmail.
- Familiarize yourself with the taskbar suggestions for seamless transitions between devices.
