Android is preparing a new cross-device continuity feature called \'Continue On\', designed to let users resume work started on one Android device on another without interruption. Initial support focuses on switching from smartphones to tablets. When users stop using an app on a phone, the state is sent to another device and appears on the tablet taskbar as a \'Handoff Suggestion\'. Google plans to offer the feature at the Android 17 API level for third-party apps.

Google is adding voice-based prompt features to its Workspace apps Google Docs, Keep and Gmail. The company unveiled the functions at its annual Google I/O developer conference on May 19. In Docs, users can create document drafts by voice and ask it to pull resume information from Drive, add event details from emails and include a humorous anecdote. Keep will transcribe spoken thoughts and have AI organize them into structured notes or lists. Gmail will allow voice conversations with Gemini to find information such as flight details, Airbnb reservation codes and doctor appointment times.
