However, the functionality might be more useful on Chromebooks. Google is ultimately mirroring the remote Android app access you've had in Windows for years.
The Chromebook and handset need to be on the same WiFi network and physically close-by, although you can use the phone as a hotspot through Instant Tethering if necessary. The feature works with "select" phones running Android 13 or newer. Google doesn't describe certain app types as off-limits, although it's safe to say that you won't want to play action games this way. Once Phone Hub is enabled, you can stream apps by either clicking a messaging app notification or browsing the Hub's Recent Apps section after you've opened a given app on your phone. You can quickly check your messages, or track the status of a food order without having to sign in again. After a preview at CES last year, Google has enabled app streaming through Phone Hub in Chrome OS Beta. Open a new tab in Google Chrome and your Apps page appears.You won't have to install Android apps on your Chromebook when you need them in a pinch. Close the Any New Tab settings tab, extensions tab and store tab.Enter chrome://apps/ in the box provided in the middle of the screen.Click the Options link for Any New Tab.Ensure the Any New Tab extension is enabled (checkbox on right).At the time of writing, this extension doesn’t require any special permissions which impact on your privacy. Click the +Free button for the extension ‘Any New Tab by ’.Search for ‘Any New Tab’ using the search box top left.Ensure Open a specific page or set of pages is selected.
This is quite odd, since most people who use Chrome will be familiar with the fact you can use the URL bar itself as a search box. Fear not, there is a quick solution to restore your Apps buttons as your home page and an extension to sort out your new tab.įor some strange reason, Google felt it necessary to add the search box bang centre on their default page when loading Chrome afresh. Google Chrome has updated and you’ve lost your big buttons to GoogleMail (GMail), Google Drive and YouTube.
