With Quick connect, you can connect your Samsung Galaxy S6 and share contents with other nearby devices. This feature works by searching for nearby devices and then share your screen, send photos, music, videos and other files.
Quick connect will also use other phone features including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct or Screen mirroring based on the type of content being shared and whether the other device has Quick connect installed.
To let other devices see your phone and send sharing requests, Quick connect has to be enabled or turned on first.
