How to Share Android Apps Through Barcode
Sharing has become one of the most important functions on social networking websites these days. People share stuff on their timelines and profiles ranging from their pictures, videos from YouTube, comments, article links and what not. This way, they can tell everyone on their friends list about whatever they are reading, talking or gossiping about.
One of the many features of having an Android smartphone or tablet is that it enables you to share everything in a very simple and intuitive manner. You can share your photos, videos, emails, contacts, notes, calendar messages and just about everything else in your device with your friends.
