Google is rolling out a new update for the Quick Share app on Windows.
This update, version 1.0.2002.2, focuses on fixing bugs and improving performance, not adding new features.
Some of the key fixes address issues with file names, saving preferences, and Bluetooth/Wi-Fi connectivity.

Google’s Quick Share, born from a merger of Android’s Nearby Share and Samsung’s Quick Share, lets you quickly beam files between Android phones, Chromebooks, and Windows PCs. Now, a new update has just given its Windows app a significant stability boost. (h/t: 9to5Google)

The version 1.0.2002.2 update is currently rolling out and focuses primarily on resolving issues that impacted the app’s performance and reliability. Notably, the update addresses problems with file names containing non-ASCII characters, which previously caused crashes or prevented files from opening correctly. Additionally, it resolves issues with saving user preferences and ensures the application icon reliably appears in the Start menu. Further improvements target connectivity, with fixes for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi stability during file transfers.
