Quick Share visibility

Would imagine it's a security thing to make sure you dont leave it shared with everyone indefinitely. Feels like that make sense

Similar to what "WhatIsLife" said. It's a security and privacy thing.

Having it set to everyone means your phone is kinda always broadcasting exactly who you are everywhere you go. Someone could just track the signal to find out where you are.

Having it on contacts only or my devices means random people won't be able to detect that your phone is near them.

Wifi and Bluetooth have systems to hide who you are. Quick share has to use the same name each time, so it's an easy way to identify someone is near you

@CoolMcCoolson,

Thanks for raising this – it’s a valid question.

The 10-minute limit for “Share with Everyone” is an intentional change, mainly related to privacy, security, and battery optimisation. It reduces prolonged visibility to nearby devices and helps avoid unintended sharing.

If needed, the option can be re-enabled after it expires.
