Recently, the Android Authority website quoted leaker Kamila as saying that the Nearby Share feature in the new Google Play Services update has been renamed Quick Share. A special feature is that the new name and icon of this feature are very similar to the Quick Share feature on Samsung devices.

Could Google's data-sharing feature merge with Quick Share on Samsung devices?

In a new post on the platform new statue. According to the screenshot, the Nearby Share feature in the new update has been renamed Quick Share and the new icon is two arrows pointing at each other in a blue semicircle.

In addition to changing the name and icon, Google also overhauled the interface of its data-sharing feature. According to expert Mishaal Rahman's speculation, it is likely that Google and Samsung will merge their two data-sharing features into one. Thanks to that, Samsung users can share data with other Android devices without having to enable the Nearby Share feature. Previously, Samsung's Quick Share feature only allowed users to share data with devices within the Galaxy ecosystem.

Currently, neither Google nor Samsung have released official information about merging the above two data-sharing features. According to Android Authority, if expert Mishaal Rahman's speculation is correct, Samsung will announce the integration of this feature at the CES 2024 exhibition or the Galaxy Unpacked event in mid-January next year.
