Tl; DR
- Android Quick Share is currently deploying a new user interface, but even more changes could be in progress.
- The developers seem to work on a much more minimal interface, without screens sent and receive explicit.
- It is possible that part of this work can be focused on a quick share for larger screen devices.
Regarding the development of applications, never progresses Really rest? No matter the number of times you reorganize your application with a new look, more optimized for user needs than ever, there will always be room for improvement – or at least the possibility of trying something new. We just started to see Google start distributing its new interface for a quick sharing, and now we already have some ideas on what it might think about changing afterwards.
We must start by clarifying that it is not because we have found evidence of developers to create a new user interface for a service that we will never see it widely released. It can pass out during internal tests, or reach a limited A / B test before developers get enough comments to understand what works – and what does not. It is important to keep in mind because what we see is like a big gap of changes that are currently deploying, with discreet shipping and reception screens.
I don’t want to miss the best of Android authority?
Rather than sticking to this dichotomy, in Google Play Services Version 25.35.31 Beta, we can see working on a new quick user interface which by default this new “Add to Share” screen. If you are not starting to add files to share, it is actually the state of reception and you will eventually receive a notification if someone tries to transfer something to you.
If you start choosing files to share, the application will start to search for a target device, with all the visible options appearing at the bottom of the screen. In a pinch, you can always withdraw a QR code to start the transfer in this way.
⚠️ A APK decay Help predict the features that can happen on a service in the future depending on the current labor code. However, these predicted features may not be public release.
Here is what we expect to see at the reception, first with this alert of an incoming file with the possibility of accepting or refusing. Once you have obtained a transfer, you will see an progression indicator and the application must open an overview of the media when finished.
Why would Google think of such a question about changes in the user interface that it has just made? An index can come from this note on the drag of the files to select them – it is not a significant interaction on the phones, but could make more sense if we use a quick sharing in a desktop environment.
Playing a little with the device settings, we can see what this new user interface will look like on something like a foldable or a tablet, and there are some adjustments specifically for this greater shape factor. In all the photos so far, you may have noticed the blue circle at the top. This indicates that you are ready to receive files, and on larger screens, the application will also use this space to communicate your current settings for which you accept the files.
It could be the advance on ourselves to look at this in the context of the next Chrome OS / Android fusion, but it is absolutely a possibility for what Google might think with these otherwise compliant changes. For the moment, however, go ahead and take advantage of it on the one hand in its current incarnation, and continue to register with us for any additional progress that we can find on these revisions.
