Overview
- Android Authority's examination of Google Play Services version 26.02.31 surfaced references to several in-development cross-device features.
- A system-wide Do Not Disturb sync toggle is expected to appear in the Cross-Device Services menu and could mute phones, tablets, and possibly Chromebooks on the same account.
- Strings referencing a Universal Clipboard suggest copy on one device and paste on another functionality that is expected to arrive with Android 17.
- Additional code points to task handoff capabilities, with these tools grouped under a cross-device and handoff settings umbrella.
- Google has not announced these features, which remain work in progress and could change or be canceled; currently, DND mirroring between Pixel Watch and Pixel phones requires manual setup.
