  • Google will now let you resume Quick Share file transfers over mobile data or Wi-Fi if a direct connection is lost.
  • This tweak comes via the latest Google Play Services update.
  • This would be useful if you’re transferring a large file or plenty of files and the connection suddenly cuts out.

Quick Share is a handy tool for transferring files between two nearby Android phones. Now, Google is making the feature more convenient with an update to Google Play Services.

Google recently announced a second February 2025 Google Play Services update (version 25.04), and one new addition is the ability to continue Quick Share transfers over mobile data or Wi-Fi if a direct connection is lost.
