[VERGE] It looks like Android is getting a Continuity-like device-linking feature

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Google is reportedly planning to introduce a new Android feature that will let users link their various Android devices together, similar to Continuity features across the Apple ecosystem.

This could enable features like “Call Switching,” which allows users to jump between connected devices during calls, and “Internet Sharing,” which Android Authority speculates could be an easier way to quickly set up a personal hotspot across the linked devices.

Apple has a similar call-switching feature called “iPhone Mobile Calls” that allows users to make and receive calls from Apple devices like Macs and iPads signed into the same Apple ID, providing they’re on the same network as the user’s iPhone.

We won’t know for sure until Google officially announces this, but if it’s genuine then this could be useful for folks who need to carry more than one phone.

Google has yet to announce the Android device linking feature, let alone a release date.

We have reached out for comment from Google and will update this story should we hear back.
