Quick Share is one of the easiest and fastest ways to transfer large files between Android devices. However, it can be a bit annoying when it is unable to find nearby devices and doesn’t highlight the underlying problem. Thankfully, Google has an improvement in the works that could help you troubleshoot this issue easily.

A teardown of the latest Google Play Services release (version 24.31.33) has revealed an upcoming feature that will help you troubleshoot issues with finding nearby devices. As you can see in the attached screenshots, the feature will appear as a new “Don’t see the right device?” button in the Quick Share settings. Tapping on it will list a few things the recipient can try to make their device visible.
