Who is working Fast pair, actually? If you activate Bluetooth on a smartphone with Android, a pop-up appears if headphones that support the technology are nearby. A tap on this is enough to pair the headphones with the Android device. You don't see it often these days, but it's pretty handy.
Better battery meter, Find My Device, and more
Auf dem Android Developer Blog Google is promoting three new fast-pair features. These should appear in the course of the current year.
The first feature concerns true wireless in-ears that support Google's technology. This ensures that battery information for the case and both ear-buds is sent to the smartphone. Second, fast-pair devices are to be shown on Google's Find My Device. This means that the last recognized location is always shown there. Third, Google wants to introduce its own detail page for headphones with Fast Pair. You can see what this looks like here:
