Fix if PowerShare feature not working on Galaxy S20/S20+/S20 Ultra

  • On any screen, pull down the notification bar using two fingers.
  • Find Wireless PowerShare.

Since it is mandatory to have at least 30% charge in your Galaxy to fully use the Wireless PowerShare feature. And it is obvious too if the device hasn’t charge then how will it be charging other devices. So make sure to charge enough to use the feature.
