#NEARBY SHARE GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES HOW TO#
Rumors suggest that the highly anticipated Pixel 6a and the Pixel Watch might also make appearances at the event. How to share apps on Google Play using Nearby Share To share an app from the Google Play store using Nearby Share, follow these steps Before you start: Note that you will need to ensure Bluetooth and Location services are active on both the sending and receiving devices. However, the Google I/O event is just a few weeks away, and if history is any indication, the more seamless version of Nearby Share will likely be detailed at Google’s developer event. The phones will instantly pair, but the actual file sharing still happens over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi waves, the same way AirDrop works.Īs for the big question regarding its rollout, well, Google hasn’t shared any information. If you aim to transfer files between two phones that have NFC enabled, just open Nearby Share on one of them and tap it against the back of the other phone. Compared to AirDrop, Nearby Share already has one cool trick up its sleeve - tap to start via NFC. It’s not as if Google gets too many things wrong though.
Nearby Share will start to rely on Google accounts in the same fashion as AirDrop utilizes Apple ID. The self-share mode will make the whole process a lot more convenient and closer to being a true AirDrop rival. Once it is enabled, users will be able to share files between two devices on the same Google account without having to approve every transfer. The feature is available in the latest version of Google Play Services, but it hasn’t been rolled out to users yet.
This hasn't rolled out yet from what I can see, but it's present in the latest version of Google Play Services. Nearby Share's 'self-share' mode will let you quickly share files to other devices signed into the same Google account without needing to approve the share.
