    What does it do?

    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.

    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. https://9to5google.com/2024/02/01/android-quick-share-direct-share-menu/

    Apparently all the pixels and galaxy phones are being updated recently. https://www.sammobile.com/news/new-quick-share-released-galaxy-phones-tablets/

    What the OP might be seeing is a recent combination Pixel/Samsung update. https://www.techradar.com/phones/android/google-and-samsungs-version-of-airdrop-is-starting-to-roll-out-to-android-devices
