Google has officially launched at CES that it has collaborated with Samsung to combine their sharing solutions into a singular cross-Android solution under the Quick Share name.
Nearby Share
Back in 2020, Google introduced Nearby Share to make it easy for users to share files across devices. Samsung also has its own similar capability called Quick Share.
“This means with a simple tap of the new Quick Share icon, you can see a list of available devices close by,” the company explained in the blog post. “You remain in control of your privacy, and can choose in your phone’s settings who can discover your device and send files, whether it’s everyone, only your contacts or just your own devices.”
Google announced that support for Fast Pair, a feature that quickly finds and connects your Bluetooth accessories to your devices, is expanding to Chromecast with Google TV and will be expanding to more Google devices later this year. In addition, the company revealed that you can now cast TikTok content from your phone to your Chromecast built-in devices, and that users will soon be able to cast Live videos from TikTok to their big screen.
