Every time we buy a new smart TV or Google TV dongle, we have the job of setting up all our preferred services. However, this process will be much easier with the next function that Google will prepare.
After an in-depth look at the Google TV Settings app, the 9to5 Google post made a healthy discovery. Soon, the Google Assistant will download and set up all your favorite services automatically.
The Google Assistant will configure access to your preferred services
With the implementation of version 1.0.4508 of the Google TV Setup application, it will automatically download applications from your favorite services. However, these will need to be linked to the Google Assistant settings.
This way, Google TV will know your preferred music and video streaming services and will download them automatically. Additionally, you will enter your login credentials to further speed up the process of setting up a new device.
The lines of code found suggest that the access credentials will be copied from other computers that you already have. Therefore, this novelty will have a practical application only for those who already live in the Google ecosystem.
This feature will allow you to skip the entire setup process for services like Netflix or Spotify if you purchase a new product with Google TV. Also, you won’t have to use the cumbersome keyboard that appears on your TV screen.
The least positive point of this novelty is that it should only be limited to devices with Google TV. If you buy a TV or stay with Android TV, this feature will not be available.
Popular products such as the Xiaomi Mi TV Stick or the brand’s smart TVs with Android TV should not be covered by this useful novelty. Something that Google should reconsider given the greater popularity of its operating system.
