Googlebook Adds Samsung Support via Updates

Google has begun rolling out updates that enable support for Samsung Galaxy devices on its Googlebook platform. These updates address a major compatibility gap that existed at launch.

The changes include improvements to the setup process for cross-device features like app streaming and notification sync, as well as fixes for known issues such as lingering QR codes during pairing.

To use the updated features, users must ensure their Android phones are running Android 17 and have the latest versions of Google Play Services and Cross-device Services installed.

Samsung Galaxy users need to have One UI 9.0 installed on their devices to access the new features. This update is now available for a limited number of Samsung models.

Some Samsung Galaxy users have reported that the 'Better Together' features are now working on their Googlebooks after applying the updates and meeting the system requirements.

Google provided a detailed guide outlining the necessary steps for users to enable and configure the cross-device features, including checking account settings, updating apps, and restarting both the phone and Googlebook.
