tablet and phone with same google account

[Anonymous]

I have a Samsung phone, so obviously have a Google account. But my question is if I was to get an Android Tablet as well, can the same Google account be on the tablet as on the phone from the point of view of apps I have already paid for. I was able to re-download and install paid for apps when I changed Samsung phones a few months ago (SIM no longer in old phone) but just checking re tablet, which will probably be a wifi only.

Thanks

Yes, I have both phone and tablet on same Google account. In fact Google apps will communicate between the devices and sync content between them.

And paid for apps will be able to be used on both

Hi


It's one of the privileges of using the same account.

I have the same privileges with my iPad Air and iPhone.

For me some Apps are optimised to being used on the iPhone or iPad ,but most can be used on each device.

Its not just your Google Acct that will sync, others will as well.   The one that I like is the Kindle App, I read a book on the phone, at some time later read it on the Nexus 7 and and it knows what page you are upto and  v v.

Yes everything is fully integrated to work together. You will even find tablet optimised apps in Play.

Agree with all of the above. I have an S3 and a HP Slate tablet. All apps are synced. (much to my initial amazement I have to say)

Yes everything will sync up nicely and the only apps that you won't be able to use on both at the same time will be those that tie in to the device ID like some sat nav apps where you just have to switch activation between the devices.

Never knew that @aldaweb  (though I suppose it does make sense)...:smileywink:

I can also use apps purchased from Google play on my Blackberry Z10 as well as my Note 2 or Nexus 7
