Want to impress someone with your amazing photography? You can impress them even more by sending them your pictures wirelessly via Nearby Share. Before starting, make sure that you are signed into your Google account. Then, follow these steps:
- Navigate to a file you’d like to share and select it. Tap the Share icon, and then tap Nearby Share. Tap Turn on if needed.
- Your phone will begin looking for another device. Hold your phone and the other device close together; make sure both devices are unlocked. The other device will appear under “Looking for nearby devices.”
- Tap Send when it appears. You’ll get a message that says “Sending.” When the transfer is successful, “Sent” will appear on your phone.
- If someone is sending something to you using Nearby Share, you will receive a notification on your phone. Tap the notification; if prompted, tap Turn on. From there, tap Accept to receive the file from the other device.
Sharing Precautions:
- Use caution when sharing sensitive information. For added security, consider using Private Share instead.
- Devices running One UI 5 detect images containing personal information (e.g., IDs, passports) and prompt you to use Private Share if desired.
