JAKARTA Late last year, rumors emerged that Google would combine ChromeOS with Android. This rumor was finally confirmed directly by one of Google's executives.
Google's Android Ecosystem President, Total Samat, confirmed the planned merger when asking TechRadar questions. He asked questions about the use of Apple's ecosystem to understand the management of its devices.
"I'm asking because we're going to combine ChromeOS and Android into one platform, and I'm very interested in how people are using their current laptops and what they're doing," Samat said, quoted on Monday, July 14.
Although Samat has confirmed this merger plan, no further details have been shared. However, Samat's question indirectly shows that Google is looking for ways to improve its cross-device experience.

This sign of merging the operating system (OS) has been seen since the beginning of last year. At that time, Google announced that part of the Android kernel would be merged into ChromeOS. This is done to encourage faster integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
By combining ChromeOS and Android, Chromebook users can be more connected to Android applications. This means that users will not feel the gap between applications running on Android phones and on Chromebooks.
It is not certain when the OS merger will take place. However, OSLING is not easy to do. Google may still take years to merge ChromeOS and Android.
