Google Play Store removing peer-to-peer app ‘Share’ functionality

The changelog released today for Play Store 44.1 says this “Share apps feature on Google Play will be retiring.”

At the time, Google billed this feature as a way to send and receive Android apps without Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity. Peer-to-peer sharing can also conserve data and is ideal for places with slow networks

You can still use Files by Google to share Android applications in a similar manner. Under Categories, go to “Apps” and then the overflow menu for what you want to “Share.”
