Quick Share
Advanced: com.samsung.android.app.sharelive Advanced Vendor documentation
Samsung's file-sharing feature for sending photos and files to nearby Galaxy devices, PCs and phones. You can disable it, with a caveat: read what stops working first.
What it does
Quick Share is the sharing option in the Galaxy share menu and Quick settings. It sends files to nearby devices, to contacts, by QR code or link, and offers a private mode that blocks re-sharing. It needs Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on and a Samsung account for some modes. Samsung updates it through the Galaxy Store, and it runs when you share or when your phone is set to receive.
If you disable it
The Quick Share option disappears from the share menu and Quick settings, and you cannot receive files from nearby devices.
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.
