Automated ‘Instant Tethering’ @ Google Rolls Out New Features For Android Devices to Be Always-Online!



Automated ‘Instant Tethering’ @ Google Rolls Out New Features For Android Devices to Be Always-Online!

Google is rolling out a new feature to Android users, designed to keep all of their devices connected to the internet all the time.

Instant Tethering takes the hassle out of setting up a mobile hotspot, by automatically detecting when one of your devices loses internet access and prompting you to piggyback off another device associated with your Google account, which does have a mobile data connection.

Currently, ‘Instant Tethering’ is being rolled out to select Android devices bundled with Google Play Services 10.2 update. The feature works by detecting whether all your devices are online or not. If one of your devices loses internet access, then it automatically enables the hotspot in the other device that has access to mobile data.

The only trick here is that all your devices must be logged in via the same Google account to detect if the internet connection is dropped in any of the associated devices. The process uses Bluetooth for negotiating the connection and requires no human interference.
