CTOnews.com, July 23 (Xinhua)-- Google has launched an Android app streaming feature that allows you to use mobile apps directly on Chromebook. This feature, which was previously only a beta, has now been officially released in the Chrome OS M115 update.

As long as Phone Hub is enabled, Android apps can be streamed from the phone without having to be installed on Chromebook, and users can easily reply to messages or check takeout status on Chromebook without distracting them from picking up the phone.

CTOnews.com notes that the feature currently supports only a handful of Google and Xiaomi phones that can run Android 13. Google, for its part, needs at least a Pixel 4a or newer model. For Xiaomi, at least Xiaomi 12T or newer models are needed. In addition, Chromebook and mobile phone must be under the same WiFi network and relatively close to each other. If some networks do not support this feature, users can also use Chrome OS's Instant Tethering feature to establish a connection.

However, this feature is not suitable for running games or other high-load Android apps, and it is more to make it easier for users to process notifications than to perform in-depth operations, which still need to be installed. This feature gives Chromebook some of the mobile phone integration features in macOS and Windows systems, and may help users improve their productivity.

In addition to this feature, the Chrome OS M115 update also allows users to sign PDF documents and save them for later use. Google has also redesigned its keyboard-based Shortcut application, providing a new interface and a more convenient intra-app search function.
