At CES and Google I/O this year a handful of features were announced with collaboration on Chromebooks in mind. At the time these features were only marked as coming soon, but now they are set to rollout to those who own Chromebooks.

Much of this functionality is built into Chrome OS version 103, with Phone Hub, Nearby Share and connectivity to Bluetooth head/earphones getting new additions.

Starting with PhoneHub, which Google rolled out last year and is now getting the ability to access photos far easier.

“With the latest update, you’ll now also have instant access to the latest photos you took on your phone — even if you’re offline. After taking a picture on your phone, it will automatically appear within Phone Hub on your laptop under ‘recent photos.’ Just click on the image to download it, then it’s ready to be added to a document or email,” explains Google in a blog post.

Next is Nearby Share, which is adding the ability to connect to WiFi with greater ease and security via your Android phone.

“Now you can also use an Android phone and Nearby Share to securely connect a Chromebook to any saved Wi-Fi network. So when your friend needs to get their Chromebook online, there’s no need to track down the sticky note with the internet info, or even lift your finger to type in the Wi-Fi password,” adds Google.

The final addition is expected a bit further down the line, but will make connecting a pair of Bluetooth headphones or earphones to your Chromebook easier by removing a few time consuming steps.

“Just turn on your Chromebook’s Bluetooth, and it will automatically detect when a new pair of Bluetooth headphones are on, are nearby and are ready to be set up. A pop-up notification will appear and with one tap, your new accessory is connected and ready to go,” notes Google.

These new features will not set the Chrome OS world ablaze, but are certainly solid quality of life improvements to make the Chromebook experience a bit better.
