Googlebooks could soon get one of Apple’s best ecosystem tricks, but do it better

TL;DR Google appears to be working on Phone Unlock for Googlebooks, letting a nearby unlocked Android phone unlock the laptop. New setup screens show the feature could work automatically when you open the lid, move the mouse, or press a key, with a phone notification after each unlock. We spotted the feature in Android 17 QPR3 Beta 1, but it remains unannounced.
