The beauty of this connected world is being able to share content between devices and other apps easily. Google Chrome on Android allows you to do this, and the app has its own share sheet. Well, according to 9To5google, Chrome is getting a new share sheet in Android 14, and it will look familiar.
If you don’t know what the share sheet is, it’s the little UI that pops up when you tap on the Share button in an app. It lists all of the different ways that you can share the file or text, and it includes the different apps that you can share it to. The share sheet can look different depending on the Android skin you’re using, but it serves the same purpose.
Chrome is getting a new share sheet in Android 14
The share sheet in Chrome for Android has always looked different compared to the other apps on Android. When you use another app on Android, it would call the default system share sheet. However, Chrome would have its own unique share sheet.
However, that’s going to change with Android 14. Right now, the share sheet in Chrome share sheet shows options for sharing to apps on the top. You’ll see four apps with a More button to access the full list. Under that, you’ll see the option to take a screenshot, take a long screenshot, copy the link, send it to a device, generate a QR code, print the page, etc.
After the change, you’ll see the Chrome-specific options on the top rather than on the bottom. The copy link option will sit next to the link. Also, the regular screenshot option is gone. Under that, you’ll see the list of apps along with the Nearby Share button.
Since this is going to come with Android 14, there’s still a little bit of time to wait for this to come out. We expect to see this change come with Chrome version 116.0.5845.92. Google will push this update through the Play Store when Android 14 U comes out.
