Google might have pulled out from CES 2022, but they still want to show off their plans for the year, including expanding Fast Pair and Nearby Share to Windows.

operating system. Google knows that for many of us, we’re getting more connected devices in our household every year, and so Google wants to improve the overall ecosystem by making it easier to connect your smartphone to other devices, including Windows.

For the first time in the Android lifespan, Google are looking to work on the Windows platform too. Specifically, they want to bring Fast Pair and Nearby Share to Windows devices. This will make it easier to connect your Android device to your Windows PC, allowing you to hook them up via Fast Pair and then transfer files and sync messages using nearby Share.

That’s not the only plans for Fast Pair though. Google has also announced that they’re working with hardware partners to allow Fast Pair to not only work with Bluetooth headphones, but also with wearables, TVs, smart home devices and even cars. They have plans to roll out a new feature to Chromebooks too in a few weeks time that’ll let your Chromebook automatically detect nearby Fast Pair-enabled headphones to connect with a single click.

And speaking of Fast Pair connections with your car, you can now use compatible Samsung or Pixel phones to lock, unlock and even start your car—well only if your car is among the short list of BMW vehicles that support this feature. Later this year though, Google also plans to rollout a new feature that uses Ultra Wideband technology so that you won’t even need to access your phone to unlock your car. You can also soon be able to share your car key to your friends or family who borrows your car.

Lastly, Google has mentioned its plans to allow Bluetooth headphones to automatically switch audio to whichever device you’re using. This means that if you’re using your wireless headphones on your laptop to watch a movie and you get a call, it’ll switch to your Android phone and then switch back once your call is over. Spatial audio meanwhile will also be coming to supported headphones later this year.post on their Keyword blog.
