From the very first device, Google has chosen to offer exclusive features or simply prioritize certain updates to devices Pixel. Precisely on the latter, users are used to noticing the novelties of each version of Android, and then waiting for their implementation by other brands.
Some features remain exclusive, such as Live Translate, Magic Eraser, Call Screen and Non Playing but this time the story is different. An extremely convenient tool that arrived with Android 12 on Pixel devices would also become available for smartphones ASUS.
This is the functionality of “URL sharing from the recent menu“. The company, fresh from the launch of its new top of the range ZenFone 10, would have chosen to equip only some of its devices with the exclusive Google Pixel feature. These are those who have received Android 13 and the new ZenUI.

Once this is done, it will only be necessary to touch it to bring up a menu that will allow you to to copy e share the link. By choosing sharing, a new window will open from below that will allow the action through any app: WhatsApp and Instagram are also included. Quick sharing with nearby devices is not excluded.
