Android’s Nearby Share feature has undergone a bunch of upgrades in recent weeks, all aimed at making it a more streamlined process — akin to Apple’s AirDrop. Now it sounds like there’s another one of those updates on the way, which should make it significantly easier to send files to specific devices. Or, at the very least, slightly quicker.
Mishaal Rahman, who uncovered some of the recent changes to Nearby Share, is the one who spotted this change. Apparently, Google could be adding target devices directly into the share menu, with devices seemingly appearing in the top row above other shareable apps. However it seems likely this row will only feature your personal devices, rather than every device in the vicinity.
