Found this looking around the phone using an app manager

Quick Share (com.samsung.android.app.sharelive)
Quick Share Agent (com.samsung.android.aware.service)
Quick Share Connectivity (com.samsung.android.mdx.kit)

Nothing that most phones can't already do; i.e. send photos to another
device.

From the package names, something from Samsung they put on their
customized phones. So, not really hard to find.

https://www.google.com/search?q=samsung+quick+share

From the descriptions, uses Wi-Fi Direct to connect the phones to
transfer the files.

It seems both Google and Samsung are working on the same product now.

Apparently all the pixels and galaxy phones are being updated recently.

What the OP might be seeing is a recent combination Pixel/Samsung update.
