What are some cool but underrated Android Features on Android that most people don’t know about? those little things that make life easier but don’t get talked about much. I feel like there’s so much hidden stuff in Android that we miss out on.

Not sure if this counts as “underrated” but Quick Share / Nearby Share. Its just Airdrop but for Android, not much to explain. It’s built in to all modern Android versions, and some older devices might also have it if they are new enough to have the “Google Play System Update” option on their phone as a separate update option from the main OS update.
Edit: Actually, its reportedly available for every android phone with Android Version 6.0 or newer.
Yeah it’s a shame Google dragged it’s feet so long and unlike all the crap they advertise but then release only. For the US for the next 6 years, they never went loud about this. So much the easiest way to share.
I’ve tried it a few times and never gotten it to work. It sees both devices, but the connection times out.
I wonder if it is too hard for Google to convince Apple to implement this with iOS, even in the form of an app…
I just used pairdrop.net a couple hours ago because I was too lazy to install LocalSend in my gf’s iPhone and it was a breeze to use to share a short video from there to my Android device…
Good news:
Ah, what would we do without the EU.
This is not an Android feature. This is a Google feature and I believe it relies on a round-trip through their servers too.
