Google brings new features to Chrome OS
Google’s Chrome browser-based operating system, ChromeOS, has ushered in its tenth anniversary. Google chose to bring a wave of new features to ChromeOS at this time, allowing users to improve their experience through the cooperation of Android phones and ChromeOS.
The most noteworthy of this wave of updates is the app called PhoneHub, which is an assistant app developed by Google for ChromeOS, which is somewhat similar to Microsoft’s Your Phone app, allowing users to pair and connect Android devices on their laptops.
The functions provided include reading and replying to text messages on the Android device on the Chromebook, synchronizing the progress of web browsing of the Android version of Google Chrome, synchronizing the connected WiFi on the Android device, and nearby sharing functions.
In terms of actual functions, the functions of PhoneHub cannot be compared with the Microsoft Your Phone application. Microsoft also provides functions such as exporting photos, making and receiving calls, streaming applications, streaming screens, and viewing notifications on the computer. In the future, Google may also continue to strengthen the development of PhoneHub to help users improve efficiency. This is a good start for Chromebook users.
Of course, everything is useless on the iOS platform. Just as Your Phone does not support the iPhone, Google’s PhoneHub does not support the iPhone.
Users of ChromeOS can upgrade to the new version now, and the new version also has improvements in the user interface, and users can have a detailed experience after the upgrade.
