Now you'll be able to stream content to your Pixel Tablet simply by holding your Pixel Pro series close to it.

Soon you'll have a new way to stream media from your Pixel Phone to your Pixel Tablet and vice versa. With the new feature, all you have to do is hold your phone close to the tablet and the music playing on Spotify or YouTube will seamlessly transfer to it without any extra action like pressing the cast button.

This feature uses your device's ultra-wideband (UWB) module, so it's only compatible with Pixel Pro series phones: 6 Pro, 7 Pro, 8 Pro, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and 9 Pro Fold.

The settings for the feature will be found under Settings / Google / Cast Options / Hold close to cast. It's reportedly coming in the next few weeks.

The feature was first announced back at CES 2024 (video demo from Mishaal Rahman).
