However, this feature was only available to users as part of beta Services channel Google PlayThree months later, it appears that Google has begun rolling it out to the general public.

Android Police and 9to5Google report that on their devices Pixel and Xiaomi with Services Google Play in version 25.18 sees a new "Use mobile toggle" switch (use mobile data switch). Function description says: "If your device can't connect over Wi-Fi, continue sharing. Data charges may apply." On phones Galaxy This feature should be included in the Enable Internet Sharing toggle.

Ability to continue transferring files within the service Quick Share over mobile data is a useful addition. However, large file transfers can take significantly longer without a direct connection. So stick to a direct connection within the service for reliable and fast transfers.

Compared to the service Applu AirDrop now Quick Share The only thing missing on Android is the ability to pause streaming, but given how much Google has improved the feature over the past year, it's only a matter of time before it adds that option.
