  • A Google executive has reportedly confirmed that the company will combine Chrome OS and Android into a single platform.
  • This news comes after we reported in November that Chrome OS will be merged into Android.
  • This also follows Android 16’s release, which brings several desktop-themed features to the platform.

Google’s plan to merge Chrome OS into Android also comes as Android itself gains several features for large displays. These additions include a proper desktop mode, desktop windowing, improved external display management features, and improved app adaptability.
