Easier App Sharing Between Two Android Phones Now Possible

Android users can now share apps between two devices more easily, thanks to Google Play Store’s new feature. This makes it possible to send apps directly to another Android phone without needing to use data or download it again.

Google Play Store’s New Feature

Google Play Store has introduced a feature allowing users to send apps directly from one Android phone to another. This feature, called “Nearby Share,” works similarly to Apple’s AirDrop, allowing applications to be shared without the need for internet data or a re-download.

How to Share Apps

To share an app, users need to open the Google Play Store and tap on “My apps & games.” On this screen, they can choose the “Share” tab, pick the apps to share, and choose the nearby device to send them to. The receiving device also needs to be on the “Share” tab and must accept the incoming apps.

Limitations and Compatibility

This feature is available for devices running Android 6.0 and above. However, it’s worth noting that not all apps can be shared. Apps that are paid or have in-app purchases cannot be shared using this feature. Furthermore, both devices need to be located physically close to each other for the feature to work.

This new feature from Google Play Store is a game-changer for Android users, making app sharing between devices simpler and more direct. However, it’s important for users to be aware of the limitations and compatibility requirements to utilize this feature to its full potential.
