Google appears to be renaming its Android file-sharing service “Nearby Share” to “Quick Share,” according to reports from prominent users on X.
This new name raises questions about a potential collaboration between Google and Samsung, whose own file-sharing service also bears the same moniker.
While concrete evidence remains elusive, the circumstances suggest possible integration. Renaming Nearby Share to Quick Share without merging the services would leave Samsung devices with two “Quick Share” options—an unnecessary source of confusion for users already unfamiliar with the differences.
According to Kamala Wojciechowska, the renaming occurs after a Google Play Services update with version 23.50.13.
Furthermore, Mishaal Rahman mentioned received a notification card stating, “Nearby Share is now Quick Share: Look for the new name and icon to share with nearby devices.”
Despite the speculations, Google has yet to officially announce any changes to Nearby Share or potential partnership with Samsung.
Google’s decision to rename Nearby Share raises both possibilities and concerns.
On one hand, a merged service could streamline file-sharing across brands. On the other hand, without a clear intention to merge, the name change might create confusion and undermine user experience.
