I wonder just how quickly this'll roll out over the Android devices in the wild? It needs Android 9+ it seems, which is about 80-85% of the devices from memory. I wonder if it also needs vendor updates? How quickly will Samsung/Huawei et al provide Android updates with this feature? (And will vendors be able to choose to block it?)
- jsheard 3y agoIt's rolling out as part of Google Play Services, which is updated out of band from Android itself so just about every device should get it without any action from the manufacturer, aside from the small minority of devices running de-Googled versions of Android.
