Google Quick Share Update Adds Convenient QR Code Sharing

Google is gearing up to expand the functionality of Quick Share for Android smartphones by offering a new feature: utilizing QR codes to send and receive stuff. While Samsung has already offered this feature to its Galaxy devices. 

Google’s workspace team is budding an innovation for Quick Share to enhance the sharing experience. It’s rumored that Quick Share will soon be able to count on an efficient innovation to make data exchange faster. 

A reliable tipster, AssembleDebug, on X, shared a short video in which he is demonstrating a new sharing feature of Quick Share, a solution based on the use of a QR code. 

Essentially, in the future, you will be permitted to use Quick Share to send and receive files by simply scanning a QR code, all in quite an inbuilt experience. Quick Share uses a QR code to send and receive stuff. For now, there are no exact details on when Google will make this new feature and whether it will be made available to all Android users. 

On the comparison side, Samsung has already offered this QR code functionality within Quick Share to its Galaxy device. Noticeably, on Galaxy devices to use a QR code for sharing, users must need an internet connection. On Galaxy devices without an internet connection, the QR code does not generate. Now, under the hood, Google is working on offering the same functionality for Android users. It remains to see whether Google will innovate it in a way so that it doesn’t ask for an internet connection to generate a QR code.
