Google has started rolling out Quick Share on Android devices, starting with the Pixel series, according to a report from 9to5Google. Nearby Share on Android smartphones has been rebranded as Quick Share to incorporate peer-to-peer content sharing platforms from Google and Samsung into a single solution for Android. The recently launched Samsung Galaxy S24 series smartphones come with the new Quick Share, instead of Nearby Share.
To mark the change, Google has also updated the logo. The blue Near Share double helix icon is now replaced by two arrows inside a circle pointing to each other.

According to a report, some Pixel and OnePlus smartphones have already started receiving the update, while other non-Samsung devices will receive the update via Google Play services update from the Play Store in the coming days.
The report indicates that after selecting the Quick Share option to share files from an app, a new page appears showing how the device will appear to other users with options such as “Send to your devices” and “Send to nearby devices.” .” The new Quick Share window covers the entire screen, while Google only used a bottom bar with the Nearby Share option.
Earlier this month, Google announced that it will be expanding Fast Pair support to Chromcast with Google TV. The update is expected to roll out this month, while the company has confirmed that Fast Pair support will be available on more Google TV devices starting later this year. Fast Pair allows users to quickly discover and connect nearby Bluetooth accessories with Android phones and Chromebooks.
