"Back in November we first heard that Google was working on creating something very similar to Apple's NameDrop, but for Android devices. NameDrop was launched in 2023 and lets you share files with another iPhone owner by simply bringing your iPhones close together. NameDrop also supports sharing contact info. And Google seems to be focused on that contact sharing bit in its implementation, at least initially. The video embedded below shows how Google's version of NameDrop for Android will actually work in practice,"
"It's still unclear what Google will choose to call this feature. During development, it's being referred to as Gesture Exchange as well as Contact Exchange, and one of those could end up being the actual commercial name for the service, but hopefully Google's marketing teams can think of something more catchy. Either way, the feature is still in active development and not ready yet, as evidenced by the fact that while the animation shown in the video above works, actual contact exchange still isn't functional."
Google is building a NameDrop-like feature for Android that emphasizes sharing contact information between devices. During development the feature has been called Gesture Exchange and Contact Exchange, though a final commercial name has not been confirmed. A development video demonstrates animations and the intended user flow, but actual contact transfer remains non-functional. The feature relies on NFC antennas to establish the initial handshake, which may require careful device alignment because Android handset NFC placement varies. Development remains active and not complete. Marketing teams may choose a catchier name for the final product.
