"This is an ongoing investment," Erik Kay, Google's vice president of engineering for Android, told CNET's Lisa Eadicicco in an exclusive interview. Google hasn't said when these features will launch, but a company executive said it'll happen "naturally, through little nudges and prompts" on the screen. Now, Google is creating a similar program it calls Media Notifications, which will allow a phone powered by Google's Android software to easily share music to a speaker running Android, regardless of which company made the actual device. One of the more popular features from Apple's devices is their ability to switch music playing on AirPods, for example, to your car through CarPlay or to a Mac computer at your desk, or to a HomePod music speaker when you walk in the room. Google wants to make it easier to share media between your Android devices.
