. You might find NFC within your Settings menu, but no matter where you look, you can’t find Android Beam. This is because Google shuttered Android Beam back in 2019 with Android Q. However, this doesn’t mean you’re left to transfer files over Wi-Fi and cloud storage. That’s because Google rightly introduced a replacement for Android Beam called “Nearby Share.” Through Nearby Share, Google abandoned its old NFC and Bluetooth-based Android Beam file sharing. Instead, Nearby Share will use a Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, or NFC connection, depending on what’s ideal. Unlike Android Beam, the new Nearby Share technology won’t need physical contact between devices to work.
Google released this new feature(Nearby Share) in an update to the Google Play Services instead of an OS update. Hence, you would only find Android Beam natively up to Android 9.0 Pie.With Nearby Share, users can now transfer files to other compatible devices that are 1-2 foot away. It sends files like with the receiving device able to accept or reject transfers through the notification shade. Moreover, Nearby Share has “preferred visibility,” a feature that tailors visibility to devices according to your preferences. You can stay visible to all your contacts, only a select few, or stay hidden until you manually toggle visibility. Android Beam’s slow file transfer speeds or because it required physical contact. . In contrast, the new Nearby Share feature works with Wi-Fi Direct and Bluetooth connections. Moreover, it can work seamlessly whenever you press the share button on a given file, photo, or link. In addition, while it has a physical distance limitation, devices don’t need to be physically aligned for it to work. Lastly, Android Beam wasn’t ideal because it wasn’t universal. For one, it wasn’t available on all Android devices because not all Android phone manufacturers had NFC built-in. Moreover, not all manufacturers followed Google’s Android Beam protocol, creating derivative services instead.
For example, Samsung and other devices used S Beam, a service similar to Android Beam. However, instead of using Bluetooth and NFC, S Beam used Wi-Fi Direct with NFC.
@BVikram, thank you for your valuable input to shed some light on this. I jumped here while looking for some clarification on why I didn't find this "Android Beam" feature on my Galaxy A50 / Android 11 mobile anymore while I just could still use it on my Galaxy A6 / Android 10 mobile successfully. And to get information about this new Nearby Share feature available on my Galaxy A50 and to state if it would replace the Android Beam function.
Your detailed explanation did answer to all my questions, thank you!
Just two comments about differences in my personal case, maybe just because of the regional policy applicable to my mobiles as I am based in France and on the Western Union market: - "you would only find Android Beam natively up to Android 9.0 Pie": I actually still have "Android Beam" on my Galaxy A6 / Android 10 mobile and it does work to exchange content with my Windows 10 laptop using the NFC feature without prior pairing - "Samsung and other devices used S Beam": the feature is actually named "Android Beam" on my mobile and it looks to use the Bluetooth communication capability instead of the Wi-Fi Direct functionality as its logo app is the usual Bluetooth logo.
Hope it can help other users who are beginners like me and who are struggling while looking for similar information.
