Samsung‘s filesharing app Quick Share is getting a new update. Now rolling out via the Galaxy Store, version 13.3.02.10 of the app brings several visual and functional improvements. The official changelog supplied by Samsung mentions four major changes. For starters, the latest version of the app will show devices in the order they were found when searching for new devices. This will make it easier to locate the device you’re looking to share files with.
The updated app also lists more devices in each row. If you’re surrounded by several Galaxy users with Quick Share turned on, this change will make or less scrolling. The app will fit more devices on the screen. Samsung says it has improved icon color devices as well, which should add to the app’s aesthetics. Additionally, the company has added a status notification guide for when devices are waiting to receive files. Finally, the changelog mentions that Quick Share will provide a URL display and usage guide when copying a link.
Samsung’s Quick Share app gets new features with the latest update
Quick Share is a Galaxy-exclusive filesharing app. Debuted on the Galaxy S20 series in early 2020, the app is available on Samsung’s smartphones, tablets, and computers. It works similarly to Apple’s AirDrop on iPhones and Google’s Nearby Share on Android devices. You can search for nearby Galaxy users who have Quick Share turned on and send files to them. The app lets you share everything – photos, videos, documents, and links – with multiple users simultaneously.
Despite having the same sharing mechanism, Quick Share is often faster than Nearby Share on Galaxy devices. It’s more feature-rich too. It allows the temporary uploading of files to Samsung Cloud from your smartphone or tablet. You can then stream those files on your smart TV or other nearby devices. Samsung also regularly updates the app with new features and improvements. The latest update brings another round of changes to Quick Share.
If you use Samsung’s Quick Share app to transfer files between your Galaxy smartphones or tablets, the new update should be available to you. You can click on the button at the end of this article to download the latest version of the app from the Galaxy Store. Some users have reported a broken Quick Share toggle in quick settings following this update. Thankfully, it isn’t a major issue. SamMobile confirms that the toggle works fine after a restart of the device. So if you encounter this problem, restart your Galaxy smartphone or tablet and you should be good to go.
