Android apps can soon run in the background on Chrome OS

Google's Pixelbook redefines the Chromebook segment

If you heavily multitask on Chrome OS, the implementation of Android apps there right now leave a lot to be desired. App activity for most apps will generally pause when you aren’t using these specific applications or games. That is about to change though as Google is testing out in the beta channel of Chrome OS 64 that lets app properly run in the background even if you’re working on something else. And if it’s made its way to beta, there is some assurance that it might make it to the public release. As 9to5Google points out, Chrome OS 64 also introduced split view recently, which puts further emphasis on the OS’s multitasking capabilities.
