Two phones held close together, and a prompt automatically pops up asking if you want to swap contact info — this might feel familiar to readers here, since ever since Apple added NameDrop in iOS 17, bumping phones to exchange info has basically become second nature for iPhone users. Now Google is bringing that same feel to Quick Share.
According to an announcement from Google today, Quick Share is rolling out contact, photo, and video sharing on select devices starting now. The logic is simple: bring two supported Android devices close together, and the system will automatically prompt you to swap contact info; for larger files, you'll need to open the share panel on the file first, then bump the two phones together to complete the transfer. The whole process no longer requires opening an app, picking a device, and waiting to pair — it's all compressed into a single "bump" gesture.
This isn't the first time Google has moved closer to AirDrop territory. Quick Share already added AirDrop support back with the Pixel 10 generation, letting Android and iPhone users transfer files between each other — that happened in late 2025, and earlier this year, more devices were added to the support list. This latest "bump to swap contacts" move is the newest step on that convergence path, except this time the thing being copied is more precisely NameDrop's actual gesture, not just the underlying transfer protocol.
The new feature is rolling out today starting with the Pixel 6 and later models. Google says Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and Galaxy Z Flip 8 will follow "soon," and has promised to expand support to more Android devices by the end of the year. As for the exact rollout timeline, Google hasn't offered further details yet.
