Continue On is an Android 17 feature for app developers that enables cross-device continuity. Users can start an Android app on one Android device and transition to another device in the same Android ecosystem, continuing the user journey. The handoff suggestion appears in the receiving device’s taskbar. Continue On works bidirectionally, but at launch it supports mobile-to-tablet transitions only. It supports app-to-app handoff and web handoff. App-to-app handoff continues the app experience on the tablet where the user left off on the smartphone. Web handoff continues the activity in the tablet’s default web browser. A fallback opens the task in the default web browser when the preferred app-to-app target app is not installed on the receiving device.
"Continue On enables users to start an Android app on one Android device and then transition to another device in their Android ecosystem, continuing the user journey they started."
"Continue On works bidirectionally, meaning any supported Android device can both send and receive app activities and tasks. However, at launch, Continue On will only support mobile-to-tablet device transitions."
"Continue On supports two types of handoffs: app-to-app handoff and web handoff. App-to-app handoff lets you continue using an app on a tablet right where you left off on a smartphone. The Google Docs example we cited above is an app-to-app handoff."
"Continue On also has a fallback system that works when app-to-app handoff is preferred, but the receiving device (tablet) doesn't have the app installed on the sender device (smartphone). In such a scenario, the task can be opened in the receiving device's default web browser to ensure continuity."
