JAKARTA - In addition to sending files in the form of photos, videos, or text, it turns out that your smartphone can also share the application using the Nearby Share feature, which is available on the Play Store application.

Nearby Share is an Android feature similar to AirDrop on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. With this feature, you don't have to exchange contact info or be on the same network as someone. You just need to be physically nearby.

Google Play Store has a built-in Nearby Share function to send apps and games to others. Thus, the recipient can quickly install the application, without downloading it manually.

To share and receive applications using the Nearby Share feature through the play store, follow the following steps:

Now, people who receive must also open their Play Store and go to the Manage Apps & Device tab. However, they will select Recieve. Once you see their device appear, select the name of the device.

Installation code will appear on your device and them. Let them know what the code is and they can tap 'Receive' if it fits. The app will be sent, and they can tap the install button to get it.
