Google has unveiled a new feature called 'Continue On' for Android 17, designed to allow users to seamlessly move tasks between Android devices. The feature was announced during the 'What's new in Android' talk at Google I/O 2026, as reported by 9to5Google.
Similar to Apple's Handoff, 'Continue On' enables users to start an activity on one device, such as a phone, and continue it on another, like a tablet or Chromebook. The feature works with supported apps and uses Google's cross-device services to sync the state of the task.
According to the demonstration, 'Continue On' will be available on Android 17 devices, including Pixel phones and tablets, and will support apps like Chrome, Maps, and YouTube. The feature is expected to roll out with the stable release of Android 17 later this year.
Google has not yet specified the exact release date for Android 17, but it is anticipated to arrive in the fall of 2026, following the beta program that began in May 2026.
