Does anyone know when is Merger of ChromeOS and Android planned?

Also, what would happen to chrome enterprise managed devices? will it be migrated automatically?

Any inputs or awareness around this would help.

Hello @rb2

Great to hear from you.

There's been a lot of interest in how Android and ChromeOS will work more closely together. If you haven’t already I would recommend taking a look at this 2024 blog post, "Building a Faster, Smarter Chromebook Experience with the Best of Google." I acknowledge that this probably won’t answer all of your questions at the moment, but hopefully it provides a bit of context of where we are headed.

Whilst we can’t share any more information at the moment, we will be excited to share more information with you and the community when it becomes available.

The consumer version of the merge is planned for 2026. Regarding the enterprise, it will take 2/3 years. However, I think it will be seamless for end users. Currently, ChromeOS is Linux-based, and users do not notice the difference. If the kernel switches to Android, nobody will notice. I bet only Android apps will work natively and probably better :)
