Like the previously launched Samsung Quick Share, the application only works for Galaxy Phones and requires both the receiver and the sender to be able to access an Private Share app set up. Once it is enabled within the advanced security options within the Biometrics and security sections of your compatible Samsung Phone, the sender may request the transfer of files. When the recipient agrees to the request for transfer then a private channel is created and the files will be shared in read-only mode.

The update is in the process of rolling out and is installed across all supported Galaxy phones using either the Samsung Galaxy Store or the Google Play Store.
