Google Chrome ‘Send to Device’ Feature for Phone Numbers is Not Working

Google Chrome is the most trusted browser by many professionals, workers, and students because of its easy-to-use functionality, several exploring options, interactive page, and many valuable features.

One of the valuable features is the ‘Send to Device.’ functionality. This feature allows users to send webpages, links, or other content directly from their desktop browser to their mobile devices. The data can easily be transmitted from one end to another and vice-versa.

However, this feature has turned out to be not working for some potential users. The report claims that the ‘Send to Device’ functionality, especially for phone numbers, is not working as it should be. To those unaware, the functionality for phone numbers enables you to send phone numbers from one device to another. For, if you find a phone number on a webpage or tab while browsing, you can use the ‘Send to Device’ feature to send the particular phone number to your linked phone so that it would be easier to dial it if needed immediately or can be saved. This indicates the importance of the ‘Send to Device’ feature.

As discussed, the user cannot use the feature specifically for phone numbers. They say they don’t even see any ‘Send to Device’ option when they right-click any phone number. Many of them have confirmed the problem in social media, including Reddit and Twitter.
