Google starts rolling out Chrome OS 91 with Nearby Share, app notification badges and more

Google is bringing Nearby Share to Chromebook and other Chrome OS devices, following its launch for Android last year.

Google is rolling out the Chrome OS 91 update to supported devices. With this, it will bring several new features to these platforms, including Nearby Share, new wallpapers, app notifications and an easier way to share files for offline use. Nearby Share is the most important update rolling out with Chrome OS 91. The feature was first announced by Google for Chromebooks earlier this year. The Chrome OS 91will finally roll out the update to all the supported devices. Nearby Share will let users share files between Chromebook and other Chrome OS or Android devices instantly, without sharing contact details, so the information and files of the two devices stay private.
