The Airdrop functionality on the iPhone is something that has proven useful for quickly sharing files with other iPhones, iPads and Mac devices. It was only last year that Google announced the ‘Nearby Share’ feature as an alternative to Apple’s offering. This feature allows you to share files, photos, videos and links with other Android devices.

Google is now adding new functionality to Nearby Share and with it, you can now share apps directly from the Google Play Store without having to connect to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. The following post should help you send apps from one Android phone to another using this feature. Let’s get started.

If you want to use Nearby Share to send apps from one Android phone to another, there are a few things you need to keep in mind:

The process of sending Android apps from one device to another is done using the Nearby Share feature and the Google Play Store, which must be available on both devices. To get started, open the Google Play Store on the device you want to send the file from and tap the hamburger button in the top-left corner of your screen.
