JAKARTA - Quick Share, a sharing feature on Android devices, seems to be getting a major update. This update is similar to the feature that already exists in AirDrop, which is sharing files with a touch.
With the new feature, two devices can send data just by bringing the top of the phone closer to each other. This is much easier than looking up the name of the mobile device first.
Based on the findings of Android Authority, the early signs of this feature have been seen since September 2025 through an experiment with the Samsung One UI interface. Now, the latest leak on One UI 9 makes the presence of the feature much clearer.
Quick Share in One UI 9 shows a more mature and ready-to-use description of the Tap to Share feature. This feature is suspected of using Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to initiate a connection between devices.
When the sensor is touched, Quick Share will immediately send the file. Although it was first found on Samsung devices, this feature will not be exclusive. That is, other Android devices will also get the Quick Share feature.
As the first part of the test, Samsung and Google seem to be developing the new Quick Share feature collaboratively. This improvement will make Quick Share as advanced as AirDrop.
In addition to sharing files in large capacity, the latest version of Quick Share is also developed to quickly exchange contact information. Users only need to stick their phones to exchange phone numbers without having to type them manually.
This advanced feature is expected to be present in the stable version of Android 17. Samsung devices will likely be the first to provide this touch-based file transfer feature.
