Google's Nearby Share rebranding starts to pop up on a few Android phones

Quick Share is now replacing Nearby Share on eligible Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, and OnePlus handsets. What you need to know Samsung and Google have been gearing up for the launch of the revamped Quick Share feature since CES 2024. The new Quick Share is designed for interoperability, allowing users to share files seamlessly with any Android device. While the change hasn't reached all devices yet, the current development suggests a broader rollout should take place soon. Google and Samsung joined forces at CES 2024 to upgrade and rename Android's longstanding file-sharing service into Quick Share, which is now appearing on a number of Android devices. Mishaal Rahman notes on X (formerly Twitter) that Quick Share is popping up on Pixel devices, and users with Samsung and OnePlus devices are chiming in with screenshots in response to Rahman's post (via 9to5Google). Google may have started rolling out Quick Share to some Android users. One user reports seeing the new Quick Share (formerly called Nearby Share) on their Pixel phone.Let me know if you see Quick Share on your Android device!Thanks to @android_setting for the tip! pic.twitter.com/hqfVk4XvaTJanuary 31, 2024
