  • Android Quick Share is currently in the process of rolling out a new UI, but even more changes could be in the works.
  • Developers appear to be working on an interface that’s much more minimal, without explicit send and receive screens.
  • It’s possible some of this work could be focused on Quick Share for larger-screen devices.

When it comes to app development, does progress ever really rest? No matter how many times you retool your app with a fresh new look, more optimized for user needs than ever, there’s always going to be room for improvement — or at least the chance to try something new. We only just began seeing Google really start distributing its new interface for Quick Share, and now we’ve already got some ideas about what it could be thinking about changing next.

We should start off by clarifying that just because we’ve found evidence of developers building a new UI for a service doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll ever see it widely released. It may fizzle out during internal testing, or make it to a limited A/B test before devs get enough feedback to understand what works — and what doesn’t. That’s important to keep in mind because what we’re seeing feels like quite the big departure from the changes rolling out presently, with discrete send and receive screens.
