Samsung's media sharing service that lets Galaxy apps find and stream to TVs and players on the same network. It is safe to disable: you lose nothing most people will miss.
What it does
Nearby Service is the current name of Samsung's AllShare media-sharing component. It finds DLNA media players and TVs on your Wi-Fi network so Samsung apps can play photos, music and video on them or browse shared media. It has no icon and runs when a Samsung media app looks for devices. It is a different package from Smart View, which handles screen mirroring.
If you disable it
Samsung apps may no longer list DLNA TVs and media players for playback. Screen mirroring through Smart View and casting with Chromecast are separate.
How to disable it
On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.
