Scroll down until you see the "Device controls" tile.Swipe down twice from the top of your screen and tap the pencil shaped icon in the lower-left corner of the Quick Settings panel.And don't let the app's name fool you: It's essentially just an interface for interacting with any and all connected gadgets, no matter where they are or what purpose they serve ( ahem). It's an awesome time-saver, but it's up to you to pull it out of Android's bowels and make it accessible.įirst things first, you need to download the confusingly named Google Home app, if you haven't already, and make sure you're signed into it and set up with any connected devices you've got. The panel, in case you aren't familiar, gives you easy access to adjusting any connected devices associated with your account - smart lights, cameras, thermostats, speakers and displays, e-rodents, you name it. Fear not, though, for your Pixel's fancy new software has a couple cool ways to bring that panel back to the forefront. One of Android's best buried treasures is the device control panel introduced in Android 11 and then weirdly tucked away to an out-of-the-way place in Android 12. Tap that icon, and shazam! You've got your link. Look for the curiously shaped link icon in the thumbnail's upper-right corner.Find Chrome in your list of recent apps.Open the Overview interface by swiping up from the bottom of your screen about an inch and then stopping - or, if you're still using the old legacy three-button nav system, tap the square-shaped button on your phone's lower edge instead.And from there, it's just one more press of your precious fingie to copy the link or share it anywhere else on your phone. So here it is: Anytime you look at Chrome in your Overview area, you can grab the link of the currently open page with one quick tap - without ever leaving Overview or opening the app. And with Android 12, your favorite Googley phone has another tucked-away time-saver to discover there.
