Quick Share tap-to-share arrives on Pixel 6 and newer, Samsung phones soon
↗
Google's Quick Share now supports tap-to-share on Pixel 6 series and newer, with Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Fold 8, and Flip 8 to follow soon.
This brings an AirDrop-like gesture to Android, letting users exchange files and contact info by tapping devices together. It relies on NFC and proximity, so it works only when devices are close. The rollout is limited to Pixel and soon Samsung, with broader Android support promised by year's end.

The update starts today on Pixel 6 series and newer, with Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Fold 8, and Flip 8 coming soon.
Google says more Android devices will get the feature by the end of the year, though no models were named.
