Introducing "Hold Close to Cast": The New Feature That’s Changing the Way We Stream Music
Imagine being able to instantly beam your favorite tunes from one device to another, without having to lift a finger. Sounds like a dream come true, right? Well, good news: Google is making that a reality with its new "hold close to cast" feature, which is about to revolutionize the way we stream music.
How it Works
The feature, first revealed at CES earlier this year, is designed specifically for users with Pixel Pro phones, particularly those with Ultra Wideband technology built-in. All you need to do is place your phone next to a docked Pixel Tablet, and voilà! Your tunes will be casting from YouTube Music or Spotify to the tablet’s superior speakers. And, if you’re heading out the door, you can easily transfer the music back to your phone in the same way.
Getting Started
So, how do you get your hands on this amazing feature? Well, according to 9to5Google, you can enable it in Settings > Google > All services > Cast options. Once you’re up and running, you’ll be prompted to "reach your phone towards a Pixel Tablet to cast media."
The Catch
The only catch is that this feature is currently limited to owners of the following Pixel Pro phones: 6 Pro, 7 Pro, Fold, 8 Pro, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and 9 Pro Fold – which, let’s be real, aren’t exactly the best-selling Android phones out there. And, of course, you’ll need a Pixel Tablet with the optional dock, which hasn’t been sold widely or well-reviewed.
The Future of Music Streaming
But don’t worry, this could just be the start of something bigger. If Google enables this feature more widely across Android phones, we might see a game-changing shift in the way we stream music. No more tedious tapping, no more fuss – just pure, unadulterated music bliss.
