Android clipboard is getting Nearby Share button

Who has a smartphone updated to Android 13 (the manufacturers that offer the best support), you will have noticed that, in addition to other new features, when copy something (text or images) in the clipboard is shown a floating window with a preview that allows it quick sharing.

This is especially useful for those who owe to share quickly links or even just sentences and, as shown by Google at I/O 2022 should have received supplementation with Nearby sharing (Nearby Share), a feature the search giant has been working on a lot lately.
