Google has released the Nearby Share app for Windows, making it easier than ever to share files between Android devices and Windows computers.
The app is similar to Apple’s AirDrop feature, and it does not require cables or accounts. To use Nearby Share, you simply need to make sure that both devices are nearby and connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
During the Nearby Share beta program, 1.7 million people downloaded the application, sending over 50 million files between their Android and Windows devices, according to Google.

OpenAI has released an official ChatGPT app for Android, which is now available in four countries.

However, it is important to note that ChatGPT is not always accurate, and should not be used as a factual reference.
The Android version of the ChatGPT app is similar to the iOS version, and includes features such as chat history synchronization and support for ChatGPT Plus subscription accounts. The app is available for download on the Google Play Store, and OpenAI plans to expand the rollout to more countries over the next week.
