Your Chromebook could soon ‘stream’ apps from your Android phone

If you have a Samsung smartphone running a recent version of Android, you have probably used the Link to Windows function that allows users to perform certain tasks like calling, texting and remotely running apps on compatible Galaxy phones. Google is now reportedly working on the ability to ‘stream’ apps from an Android device to a connected Chromebook.

Chromebooks have become increasingly popular during the pandemic, with more users opting for affordable hardware – outselling Macs and growing at the expense of Windows marketshare. Google has also been working on improving the integration with its Android devices, including the ability to read notifications from a Chromebook signed in with the same account.
