Google TV may soon let you use your phone as a gamepad

Google TV may soon allow users to utilize their smartphones as a gamepad, according to recent reports. The company has already introduced a touchscreen gamepad feature for foldable devices, and this functionality may be adapted for use with Google TV. Currently, Android has struggled to establish a strong presence in the gaming market, with streaming services being its primary focus.

However, the recent development of Google TV may signal a shift in the company's gaming priorities, potentially opening up new opportunities for mobile gaming in the living room.
