We’re updating Quick Share to enable sharing contact info, photos, and more between Pixel devices with just a tap!

Hi Reddit,

We’re updating Quick Share to make sharing even simpler between Android devices, beginning with Pixel devices. Starting today, eligible devices can now use Quick Share and tap to share contact info, photos, videos, website links, location, and more between one another. 

This feature is rolling out today to Pixel 6 and newer devices, and it’s coming soon to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8, and Flip8. We will expand it to more Android devices running Android 17+ by the end of the year. 

Tap to share is easy to use — simply overlap the top of both unlocked phones with their screens facing up and visible to you and keep them close together until they glow! 

# Tap to share your contact information

When you’re on your home screen, just bring your compatible Android devices close together for an instant, two-way exchange of contact information. You can choose which contact info fields in your contact card to share or choose to only receive the other person’s contact card. 

Tap to share contact information.

# Tap to share other content

To share photos, videos, or other content, simply select the content you want to share, tap the share button to open your phone’s Share Sheet, and finally tap both devices together to begin sending your content! 

Tap to share photos, videos, or other content

\-------------------------

Tap to share is on by default except for devices that have managed accounts, but you can turn it off at any time by going to Quick Share settings and toggling “Tap to share.” For more specifics on this feature, visit our Help Center.
