TL;DR
- Google has redesigned the Quick Share app for Windows.
- The modified UI now features an expressive settings menu as well as a modified sharing section.
- We spotted this redesign in version 1.0.2351.1 of Quick Share for Windows.
Quick Share is the best way to send files between Android phones, but it’s also available on tablets, Chromebooks, and Windows PCs. It looks like Google recently released a UI refresh for the PC version of the service.
I don’t want to miss the best of Android Authority?
His colleague Mishaal Rahman spotted the Quick Share UI redesign for Windows. The most notable change is an expressively styled settings menu, with boxes grouping settings (e.g. device name and visibility) and lines dividing each individual entry. The sharing section on the left side of the main menu has also been simplified and now has a header asking “who can share with you.”
The revised user interface is rolling out with version 1.0.2351.1 of Quick Share for Windows. However, it’s worth noting that I’m using this version but still haven’t received the redesigned interface. This suggests a staggered release, so you may have to wait a bit to see these visual changes on your PC.
The Quick Share overhaul on Windows comes several months after Google overhauled Quick Share for Android. This redesign introduced receive And send screens. However, the updated Windows app doesn’t take this tabbed approach to sending and receiving files.
