Samsung phones getting Android Cross-device services as Google pushes wider rollout. It’s the latest attempt to nourish cross-device interaction capabilities. Now, your Samsung Galaxy is also supported to run the newly added features.

A new report suggests that Samsung devices getting Android Cross-device features. Google initially pushed the update at the end of May this year. Now, the company is expanding the new feature suite to a broader audience.

Android 11 and newer devices support new Cross-device service functions. Call casting is one of the most exciting features within the suite. It will “move calls between this device and other nearby devices signed in to your Google Account.”
