There are many who are waiting and have not yet received the update to Android 7.0 Nougat. It is a very important version, but the truth is that according to the latest data on Android usage, the most recent edition of Google's mobile platform is only in 0.7% of all devices that work with it. However, there is already a complementary version that would be the one corresponding to Android 7.1.1 Nougat, of which we are already discovering news. One of the most important that we have known today is the one that has been baptized as Instant Tethering. It is a new application that would be launched every time one of these devicesGoogle loses the data connection, it would automatically send an automatic request for the phone or tablet to automatically connect to another Android device. In this way, if you have a mobile that suddenly runs out of data, you could directly access the connection of your laptop or any other device that you have assigned to it. It is just the same as you would do manually, but in this case it would not be necessary to touch any button to continue enjoying a connection.
As soon as you lose the connection, the system will access and search for those devices that you have chosen to get a connection and thus avoid losing the possibilities of browsing and downloading data from the device you are working on. You should know, yes, that it would not be necessary to configure anything, thanks to Bluetooth connectivity. In addition, on the same computer screen you could check the autonomy of the other device.
If you have a Nexus or a Pixel device you will be in luck, because this feature called Instant Tethering for now will only be operational for terminals that can host Android 7.1.1 Nougat. The Nexus 9 and Pixel C, which are tablets, cannot send WiFi signal, so they could only connect with your compatible phone. Luckily, this functionality will be operational in both Marshmallow and Nougat, so that two devices can work without problems if the connection or signal drops or disappears completely.
In any case, know that the functionality will be available first for Nexus and PĂxel, so if you have any of these teams in your pocket, all you have to do is access the section Settings> Google and check if the function named as Instant Tethering is available. If it does not appear, be patient, because the functionality will not arrive overnight. As reported, it is most likely that the deployment will be carried out gradually, so that it will gradually reach the terminals.
As we already indicated at the beginning, the number of smartphones that work with Android 7.0 Nougat is still very small. However, the forecasts point to the possibility that January and February are very important months in which updates to Android 7.0 are concerned, so that a large majority of smartphones could receive it and begin to enjoy all the functions and news. The arrival of Instant Tethering will already be another story, so if you were wanting to try it, you will have to arm yourself with patience.
