While we wait for Google to launch Android 12L during this first quarter of the year, we can see how the Android 13 leaks continue. While screenshots of its first news appeared a few days ago, now an important feature has come to light that could change the way we transfer content between our devices.
Android Police discovered in a user interface demo a feature called Tap the media to transfer (Tap to transfer media), and it looks like Google wants to add native support to Android 13 a feature that arrived precisely in iOS 13 in 2019, allowing its users to transfer music from their iPhone to a HomePod.

So far the only way to transfer music to speaker is through the ‘Cast’ button on our mobile, but it looks like in the near future it will be possible to transfer music from device. to another with a simple “touch”, surely one touchless touch.
The leaked demo image created by Google we see in the screenshot on the left as a notification at the top informs the user to approach the DEMO device to play. In the screenshot on the right we see how the notification warns that music is already playing on the DEMO device. In theory, this would be to transmit the music played on the mobile to the speaker simply by bringing the two devices together.
It is not known how the implementation of this function that Apple calls will be. Delivery. The most logical thing is to think that Google will use the NFC or the UWB that from that year we will see in many devices to be able to turn our mobile into car keys. It’s also a mystery if this feature will be limited to speakers or if it will also allow streaming playback from mobile phone to tablet, or speaker-to-clock music playback, to mention. just a few examples. This could be the evolution of the latest Android Beam, but now focused on moving media content instead of transferring files.
