If your vivo S50 cannot share files using Quick Share, the device may keep searching without finding nearby phones. Sometimes it connects but fails midway. This usually happens because of visibility settings, wireless connections, or permission conflicts.
The good news is that most Quick Share problems are easy to fix. You just need to check the right settings and refresh the connection properly.
Why Your vivo S50 Cannot Share Files via Quick Share
- Nearby device visibility is turned off.
- Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is disabled.
- The receiving device is not set to accept file transfers.
- Location permission is restricted.
- Temporary system glitch affecting wireless services.
Make Sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Are Enabled
Quick Share relies on both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to detect and transfer files. If either one is off, the feature will not work properly.
Open Settings, and then tap Wi-Fi.
Turn on Wi-Fi, and then go back to Settings.
Tap Bluetooth, and then toggle it on.
Try sharing the file again after enabling both connections.
Enable Device Visibility on the Receiving Phone
Quick Share only works if the receiving device is discoverable. If visibility is off, your vivo S50 will keep scanning without finding anything.
On the receiving device, open Settings, and then tap Connected devices.
Tap Quick Share, and then set Nearby sharing to Everyone or Contacts only.
If you choose Everyone, remember that it may automatically turn off after several minutes.
Turn On Location Permission
Some sharing features require location access to detect nearby devices accurately. If location is disabled, detection may fail.
Open Settings, and then tap Location.
Turn on Location services, and then go back to Settings.
Tap Apps, and then ensure Quick Share has location permission enabled.
Once done, try sharing again.
Restart Both Devices
Temporary wireless bugs can block file transfers. A restart refreshes the connection modules and clears background conflicts.
Press and hold the Power button, and then tap Restart.
Wait for the device to fully reboot, and then test Quick Share again.
Restart the receiving device as well for best results.
Clear Quick Share App Cache
If the feature still fails, the app cache may be corrupted. Clearing it refreshes the app without deleting personal files.
Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
Find Quick Share, and then tap Storage.
Tap Clear cache, and then reopen the feature to test it.
Quick Share on the vivo S50 should work smoothly once visibility and wireless settings are correctly configured. In most cases, enabling discoverability and refreshing the connection solves the issue immediately.
FAQs
Why does Quick Share keep searching but not finding devices?
The receiving phone is likely not set to visible mode. Make sure Nearby sharing is set to Everyone or Contacts only.
Does Quick Share require internet connection?
No. It uses Wi-Fi Direct and Bluetooth for direct device-to-device transfers, so mobile data is not required.
Why does file transfer stop midway?
This usually happens due to unstable Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signals. Restarting both devices often fixes the problem.
