Peer-to-peer app sharing could hit the Google Play Store, according to a report on Thursday. You can already use it Nearby Share to transfer files like pictures and videos to Android, but this feature would allow friends to share apps between phones, Android Police reported.
The My Apps section in the Play Store can be used to send apps offline using peer-to-peer sharing.

According to the publication, in order to share apps after the feature starts:
- Select an app to share
- Select a nearby friend's device that you want to share the app with
- Both people need to open the Play Store and connect to each other
- The app is then transferred from one phone to the other via Bluetooth, NFC and Wi-Fi.
Paid apps are unlikely to be included in the feature, the report said. Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
