Well, it’s official: Android has a new Fast Pair interface.

Fast Pair, if you haven’t heard, is an Android feature that makes it easier to pair Bluetooth accessories like earbuds, headphones or smartwatches with your phone. It also links devices to your Google account, which can make it easier to connect a pair of earbuds to a new smartphone after you upgrade.

The new Fast Pair design clearly takes inspiration from Apple’s AirPods connection interface. When setting up a Bluetooth accessory for the first time, a large pop-up appears, covering roughly the screen’s bottom-half. It shows the accessory you’re trying to connect and has a big, blue ‘Connect’ button to pair the accessories.

Although the official Android Twitter account tweeted about the new experience today, it started showing up in December 2020.

The new Fast Pair experience on #Android is here. With an updated, easier-to-use layout, see how it makes connecting Bluetooth devices to 100+ devices from partners like @JBLaudio and @SonyElectronics more simple and convenient all with a single tap. pic.twitter.com/cWuMMcATrP
