Easy Ways to Use Nearby Share Apps on Android that Are Similar to Airdrops (XDA Developer)

YOGYAKARTA - Google has officially released the Nearby Share application, which functions to share photos or documents with fellow Android phone users in the vicinity.

The Nearby Share application also has functions and methods of use that are similar to the AirDrop feature on iPhone phones. With this application, users can share photo files and documents more easily through a simple process.

Android phone users don't have to worry about the quality of the files being sent decreasing. The reason is, with the Nearby Share application, the file sent will still have the same resolution so it will not make the quality of the file.

Therefore, sending files using the "Nearby Share" application can make Android phone users more secure and comfortable. You can also use your Android with technology equivalent to iPhone.

If you're interested in trying the app, but don't know how to use it yet, the VOI team has prepared a tutorial that you can follow below.

How to Activate the Nearby Share App

Before using the Nearby Share application, users can first make sure that the phone you are using is compatible to use the application.

Although it doesn't require too much storage space, if you use an older model phone, it can affect performance when operating the Nearby Share application.

Next, you can update the Android operating system in the settings menu. If you've done the update and made sure your phone is compatible, the user can try to send the file you want.

First, select a file on your device, then hold it on the phone screen. A menu option will appear that you can choose from, click the share icon or "Share".

Next, scroll up on the Android sharing menu, then select the "Nearby Share" icon. Select “On” to enable “Nearby Sharing”, and you can search for contacts on your phone to whom you want to send documents or photos. All available contacts who can receive files using the “Nearby Share” app will appear on your phone. Select a contact you want to send the file to.

Next, you can wait a while to process the file submission. If the process is complete, then the document can be directly accessed from the device you sent the file to.

That's how to activate the "Nearby Share" application that is already available on Android phones. Users can use the application to share photo files and documents with other users.
