Google Confirms It Will Merge Chrome OS with Android

Sameer Samat, president of Google's Android ecosystem, revealed in an interview with TechRadar that Google intends to merge Chrome OS and Android into a unified operating system.
This merger responds to Chrome OS’s declining user share, which dropped from nearly 2% to about 1.25% last year, prompting Google to streamline its operating systems.
Google plans to base Chrome OS more on Android technologies while keeping Chrome OS’s direction, aiming to create a modern, approachable, and familiar experience across devices.
Samat explained that since Chrome OS and Android will be merged into one unified system, he is eager to understand how users interact with their laptops and what tasks they accomplish.
This unification could enhance Google’s competitiveness with platforms like Apple’s iPad and enable more cohesive mobile and desktop experiences, though no timeline for completion was given.
