Google tests Copyless Paste in Chrome for Android

This new feature will be available in the Chrome app that would be running on Android Operating System.

So, say you are in Chrome, looking for a restaurant to take your significant other out to and you think you have found the flawless place.

Heads up, Chrome for Android users, because a new update is coming your way. Feel free to check out this feature yourself by going to this URL: chrome://flags#enable-copyless-paste.

Considering the fact that Google Pixel 2, which launches in October, will come with Android O out of the box, we expect the new mobile OS version to be developed at a rapid clip.

The description of the flag explains the feature. For example, if you check out a restaurant's website on Google Chrome, and then you switch to the Google Maps app, you will receive suggestions on what to paste, like the name of the restaurant and so on. The data is indexed locally, and never sent to the server. This ensures the security of the users.

Google Chrome users will be able to view and manage ongoing downloads.

There is no official word, and most reports claim the feature isn't working, yet.

Chrome flags are a way to enable or disable functionality in Chrome that may not be fully implemented, standardised, or that might still be a little buggy.

The brand is reported to have begun the testing of the new Copyless feature in February and the latest feature will debut with the Chrome 60 update for Android in next few months. Currently, the feature is not designed for the Incognito mode users.

However Google now seems to be accelerating the rollout of the feature after Apple introduced something similar for certain parts of text, like address information. But the sad news is, this feature will not be available for the low-end devices.
