Android 17 Adds Continue On Feature for Seamless App Handoff Between Devices

Android 17 will introduce a new feature called Continue On , allowing users to pick up app activities seamlessly across Android devices. Similar to Apple's Handoff, this feature enables transferring in-progress tasks from one device to another without manually navigating to the same point. Google announced Continue On in the developer documentation rather than during the I/O 2026 keynote .
