Samsung Galaxy devices will soon add Tap to Share on Quick Share, following Google’s rollout on Pixel phones. The feature lets you share photos, videos, contacts, and links by tapping two devices together.
On Pixel, Tap to Share is already live for Pixel 6 and newer models, with the Pixel 11 series being the first to show it. On the home screen, tapping devices exchanges contact info instantly. For photos or videos, you open the file, hit Share, then tap the phones together. It works both ways, making transfers quick and simple.
Samsung is bringing Tap to Share to the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Z Fold8, and Z Flip8 first. More Galaxy models will get it once they update to Android 17 / One UI 9. Older phones need the update before the feature works. One UI 9 is now in beta for the Galaxy S26 series, with a stable release expected around September.
