"We're also developing a way to get your audio content to move with you throughout the day. Through notifications on your device, you can tap to start listening to podcasts in the car, continue on your phone and headphones, and finish it on TV at home," said Sandeep Chivukula, Director of Product Management, Android in Google blog.
So, when you move the physical location of your phone, you will see a notification on your phone or other device asking if you want to transfer audio to the nearest device.
This feature allows users to move audio outputs to several other devices such as smartphones, speakers, headphones, TVs, cars, or other player devices.
"We are working with Spotify and YouTube Music to use this notification to help users enjoy the content they are streaming, on the most optimal devices available to them," he added.
On the other hand, to facilitate the use of multiple devices, Google has also added features such as Fast Pair, Nearby Share and Chromecast built-in. With the technology Google uses built by prioritizing privacy and security, you are in control of your data, including location data.
For information, this feature, dubbed uninterrupted listening or listening without interruption, was built using a software development kit (SDK) that uses Bluetooth Low Energy, WiFi, and ultra wideband connectivity to detect which audio devices are physically near users.
However, Google has not announced the exact release date of a feature that makes it easier for users to switch audio between devices while listening to music. However, we can hope this feature will be released this year.
