Quick Share adds tap-to-share for contacts, photos, and videos on Pixel 6 and newer

Engadget 4 hours ago 2 min read ↗ Original

Google's Quick Share now lets Pixel 6 and newer devices exchange contact info, photos, and videos by tapping devices together, similar to AirDrop's NameDrop.

WHY IT MATTERS

This change makes Quick Share more like AirDrop, reducing friction for sharing between Android devices. For engineers, it means supporting a new tap gesture and handling device-specific availability, as the feature rolls out gradually across models.

The three things worth knowing

Quick Share now supports tap-to-share for contact info, photos, and videos on select Android devices.

The feature launches today on Pixel 6 and newer, with Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Fold 8, and Flip 8 coming soon.

This mirrors Apple's NameDrop and follows recent interoperability moves between Quick Share and AirDrop.
