Smart Connect, the innovative application designed to seamlessly integrate Windows machines with Motorola and Lenovo smartphones and tablets, is set to broaden its horizons. The app is now expanding its compatibility to encompass all Android devices, introducing a host of new features that enhance user experience.
Among the notable additions is an AI-powered search feature, which empowers users to locate files, photos, and other content across all their devices, regardless of which one they are currently using. This means that if a user misplaces a file downloaded on one device, Smart Connect can swiftly retrieve it from any connected device. Additionally, the app will incorporate natural language search and commands, allowing users to execute functions without the need to navigate through settings manually.
Current functionalities of Smart Connect include the ability to activate a phone’s hotspot from a laptop and run mobile applications on various platforms such as laptops, tablets, or TVs. A unique swipe gesture enables users to transfer apps to another device effortlessly, and this can now be accomplished using natural language voice commands, enhancing the app’s versatility.
In a significant move, Motorola and Lenovo are extending Smart Connect’s capabilities beyond their own devices. While the app has been accessible for download on any Windows machine, its expansion to all Android devices marks a pivotal development. Users of non-Motorola and Lenovo devices will gain access to file-finding capabilities and several other features, although certain functionalities, such as app mirroring and AI search, will remain exclusive to Motorola and Lenovo products. A comprehensive list detailing which features will be available on other Android devices will be provided in future updates.
Moreover, Smart Connect is also set to support Internet of Things (IoT) devices, including the Moto Tag and Motorola-branded smartwatches, further broadening its ecosystem.
For those interested, Smart Connect is readily available for download via the Play Store.
