Almost exactly a year after Apple first introduced its new Continuity features with iOS 8, Samsung is unveiling its own version of the features with a new app that makes it easier to switch between multiple devices.<\/p>\n
The Korea-based smartphone manufacturer just released Flow, a new Android app that allows people with certain Samsung devices to switch between the same apps on their tablets and smartphone.<\/p>\n
The app is still in beta, but eventually Samsung says it will bring the capability to other devices like televisions and smartwatches.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Once the app (available now, in Google Play) is installed on at least two devices, you can transfer or defer tasks to another supported device.<\/p>\n
If you’re watching a YouTube video on your smartphone, for example, you can pause the video and resume it on your tablet or opt to finish it later.<\/p>\n
The app uses Android’s built-in sharing menu so it already works with thousands of apps, according to Samsung, though developers who want to take advantage of the feature can bake a Flow button directly into their apps.<\/p>\n
Flow relies on bluetooth and Wi-Fi \u2014 not a cloud service \u2014 so both devices also need to be physically close to each other or on the same Wi-Fi network in order for it to work.<\/p>\n\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
Samsung says it will also add notifications, mirroring, multitasking and other features in future versions.<\/p>\n
The app is U.S-only for now and only supports the company’s most recent flagships: the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, the Galaxy S5, the Note 4 and Note Edge, Galaxy Alpha and the Galaxy Tab S tablet, but the company says it plans to add the app’s capabilities to its smartwatches, televisions and other devices in the future.<\/p>\n
This video provides a closer look at how the app may work with other types of devices once Samsung expands the feature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
