Google has a new app in the works that could streamline your Starbucks routine.
The Internet giant is testing an app that will automatically connects phones to hotspots in Starbucks coffee shops without making users jump through the hoops, App Advice reported via Engadget.
The app, which would also work with other private hotspots, would tap into users' Google accounts and automatically activate wireless on their smartphones, tablets or laptops when they're near a hotspot.
"The app could utilize a user's Google account and install a dedicated security certificate on their device to automatically authenticate devices when a connection is available," Engadget explained.
The wireless connection in more than 7,000 Starbucks stores is powered by AT&T, but Google reportedly hopes to replace the service.
With Google's app, users could automatically access wi-fi "thanks to more encrypted access points," according to App Advice.
Right now, Starbucks wi-fi can only be used after users find the network with their device, open a browser and agree to AT&T's terms and conditions.
The tech giant could also expand its partnership with Boingo to extend logins to Google wi-fi locations, according to Engadget.
Google started its wi-fi service in 2006 and was one of the first companies to offer city-wide free wireless Internet.
Launching the service in Mountain View, Calif., where the company is headquartered, Google rolled out 500 hotspots to give the city's residents Internet access. The network later struggled when the widespread use of smartphones and tablets increased wi-fi demand.
But Google hasn't given up.
"We're told that Google is working to improve connectivity in the city, and that it has specific plans to roll out Google WiFi to more locations across the US and Canada," Engadget said.
