Share content by Android Beam
Before sharing content, make sure that both devices are unlocked, have their screens on, and have NFC and Android Beam turned on. Then follow these steps:
  1. On your device, open the exact content that you want to share, like a map, photo, or webpage.
  2. Move the back of your device toward the back of the other device.
  3. When the devices connect, your device will make a sound or vibrate, and the image on your screen will get smaller.
  4. When you see the message Touch to beam, tap your screen. A notification will say "Beaming..."
  5. When the beam is done:
    • On your device, a notification will say "Beam complete."
    • On the other device, a notification will show the shared content.
