Android Feature Drop - May 2024

• Android’s new Instant Hotspot feature won’t be available on Samsung devices.
• Instant Hotspot is a new feature that lets you easily connect your Android tablet or Chromebook to your phone’s hotspot with a single tap.
• This capability already existed on Chrome OS in the form of instant tethering, but no such capability previously existed between Android phones and tablets from different brands.

The two features I’m most excited about are part of Play Services’s new Cross-Device Services module, which brings some Apple Continuity-style magic to your Android devices. For example, the new Instant Hotspot feature lets you connect your Android tablet or Chromebook to your phone’s hotspot with a single tap. Instant Hotspot works with phones running Android 11 or newer, with one notable exception: Samsung devices. According to Google, Instant Hotspot will not be available on any Samsung devices.
