Android’s Fast Pair feature makes it easier to pair Bluetooth accessories to your phone

Google wants to eliminate the tedious process of having to search through the settings app to pair a Bluetooth device to the phone. Google Play Series version 11.7 brings the feature called Fast Pair to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. What it does is it searches for nearby Bluetooth Low Energy broadcasts in your area. You’ll get a high-priority notification once it spots the device you want to pair it to and it’ll ask you to “tap to pair” your device with, let’s say, Bluetooth headphones. The notification will show the product name and an image of the device to make sure you pair it with the correct device. Once you’ve successfully paired, you’ll get a second notification giving you a link to companion app, if the Bluetooth device has it. The feature currently just supports Google’s Pixel Buds and Libratone Q Adapt On-Ear. The upcoming Plantronics Voyager 8200 series will support the feature, too.
