Abstract

Techniques for a method for automatically synchronizing application state across multiple devices are disclosed herein. The method includes running an instance of a computer application at a first electronic device, detecting a presence of a second electronic device based on a proximity of the second electronic device to the first electronic device, identifying an installation of another instance of the computer application on the second electronic device, and transmitting an application state data to the second electronic device. The application state data represents an application state of the computer application at the first electronic device. The application state data of the computer application enables another instance of the computer application at the second electronic device to resume running the computer application from the transmitted application state.
