- Google is testing a major UI overhaul for its Quick Share feature.
- The overhaul includes simplified Send/Receive landing pages and many changes that seem inspired by the upcoming Material 3 Expressive design.
- Functional refinements include temporarily making the user visible as a recipient as soon as they land on the Receive page, and even changing the Quick Settings tile behavior.
Quick Share is one of the most convenient recent additions to Android, vastly simplifying the way users send and receive files when in close vicinity. The Quick Share UI is currently very functional, but Google seems to be preparing to give it a fresh coat of paint with a major UI redesign. Speculatively, this redesign could be on the lines of Google’s upcoming Material 3 Expressive design, as we see some similarities between this redesign and the leaked Expressive Settings redesign.
