I remember sending pictures to friends since bluetooth was on dumb phones, but apple really needs their own special name.

There was a thing called Bump like a decade ago that just disappeared for some reason. Android also had a way to stick phones together and you could just send whatever you had on your screen.

And ever since, sharing between people has become so difficult, nobody uses it. I don't understand why it's had to be this was and that only just now Google and Samsung are getting it together with Nearby Share.

You can still open Nearby Share on the sender phone and touch it on the other phone to start sending.
