With the new update, Nearby Share can now securely transfer files across your Android devices automatically.
The new update also allows Nearby Share to work even when your screen is off.
A staple on Android since 2020, Nearby Share allows Android users to easily and securely share documents, images, folders, and even songs on Spotify with other nearby Android devices. However, before anything can be shared, the recipient needs to accept the file first, even if you were just sending the file to another one of your own devices. A new update will make Nearby Share a little more convenient by making sharing automatic.
To be released in the next few weeks, an update to Nearby Share will make it possible to send files to other nearby Android devices without the need for manual approval. However, this new capability won’t be applied unanimously; it will only work across the devices you own. So if you want to send something to a friend, they’ll still have to click accept before anything is shared.
