In a music-lover’s dream come true, Chrome for Android is getting a long-awaited upgrade! Soon, you’ll be able to listen to articles using the Read Aloud feature even when Chrome is minimized or closed in the background. This exciting update mirrors the functionality already enjoyed by desktop Chrome users.
Currently, if you want to listen to an article using Read Aloud on your Android phone, you need to keep the Chrome app open. This can be inconvenient, especially if you want to multitask while listening. The upcoming update eliminates this restriction, allowing you to listen to articles uninterrupted, whether you’re browsing other apps, checking emails, or conquering your to-do list.
This feature is a significant improvement for accessibility and usability. Users with visual impairments or those who prefer listening to text can now enjoy a more convenient and streamlined experience. Additionally, anyone who enjoys listening to articles while commuting or doing chores can benefit from the background playback functionality.
An official release date for the update hasn’t been announced, but Android users can rejoice knowing this feature is on the horizon. So, get ready to ditch the limitations and delve into the world of articles seamlessly, with Chrome’s background playback for Read Aloud!
