Revamping Android's share menu is currently a "priority"
The Google Pixel 3 XL
In its current state, the share menu on Android still lags quite a bit, which is a far cry from the smooth experience present elsewhere in the operating system. This has prompted a number of complaints from users and, when asked about a possible fix, Android’s Vice President of Engineering, Dave Burke, confirmed that, although it’s a pretty big task, it is currently a priority for the team.
At the moment, it’s unclear what the updated share menu will look like. According to Burke, though, it will be “much faster and nicer to use.” This will be possible thanks to a completely new data model which is being built from the ground up.
As the change will represent a pretty big change for Android, the revamped sharing menu probably won’t make an appearance anytime soon. Instead, the implementation will likely arrive in next year’s Android Q update that should be released in August.
