Google and Samsung are merging Nearby Share and Quick Share into a singular cross-Android solution

Google announced today at CES that it has collaborated with Samsung to combine their sharing solutions into a singular cross-Android solution.

The companies have integrated the two experiences to create “the best default, built-in-option for peer-to-peer content sharing” across all types of devices in the Android and Chromebook ecosystems. Google also announced that it is working with PC manufacturers like LG to expand Quick Share to Windows PCs as a pre-installed app. In the coming months, electric vehicles compatible with Android Auto can share real-time battery information with Google Maps.
