Other than upgrading its mobile OS with the best Android 12 features, Google has been putting a lot more focus on its smart TV platform, Android TV, than before. The Mountain View giant introduced a content discovery service dubbed Google TV last year. Now, the company aims to improve the app downloading experience on Android TV-powered smart TVs.
Now, this is not something new for Google as it already allows users to download and install apps on Wear OS devices via their Android smartphones. However, the fact that users can now download apps on their smart TV sets via their Android smartphones means that they do not need to be near a TV to get an app installed on it. Moreover, it improves the Android ecosystem, making it more seamless for users.
Coming to the availability, unfortunately, Google has not yet rolled it out to the public. Nonetheless, as the feature showed up for a select few users recently, we can expect it to roll out publicly sooner rather than later.
