Google Android 13 to bring tap-to-transfer feature for media

Google’s Android 13 is months away from developer preview. Still, we are getting more and more information about the upcoming software system. Among them, the latest one reveals the tap to transfer media playback feature of Android 13.

Although the details aren’t clarified about it, it seems to be a feature for moving media playback between devices. The feature could be similar to Apple’s Handoff feature that lets iPhone owners transfer media to and from the company’s HomePod speakers.

Android Police has showcased a few screenshots that show it in action. The feature is called “Media TTT”, with TTT standing for “tap to transfer”. A part of it is a chip notification that pops up with closely related information from a receiver device such as another phone or Chromecast device.
