Please migrate to [Nearby Connections](//developers.google.com/nearby/connections/overview) for further support.\n\nThe Nearby Messages API is a publish-subscribe API that lets you pass small\nbinary payloads between internet-connected Android and iOS devices. The devices\ndon't have to be on the same network, but they do have to be connected to the\nInternet.\n\nNearby uses Bluetooth Low Energy to communicate a unique-in-time pairing code\nbetween devices. The server facilitates message exchange between devices that\ndetect the same pairing code. When a device detects a pairing code from a nearby\ndevice, it sends the pairing code to the Nearby Messages server for validation,\nand to check whether there are any messages to deliver for the application's\ncurrent set of subscriptions.\n\nNearby Messages is unauthenticated and does not require a Google Account.\n\nThe exact mechanism for data exchange may vary from release to release. The\nfollowing sequence shows the events leading to message exchange:\n\n1. A publishing app makes a request to associate a binary payload (the message)\n with a unique-in-time pairing code (token). The server makes a temporary\n association between the message payload and the token.\n\n2. The publishing device uses Bluetooth Low Energy to make the token detectable\n by nearby devices. The publishing device also uses Bluetooth Low Energy to scan\n for tokens from other devices.\n\n3. A subscribing app associates its subscription with a token and uses Bluetooth\n Low Energy to send its token to the publisher, and to detect the publisher's\n token.\n\n4. When either side detects the other's token, it reports it to the server.\n\n5. The server facilitates message exchange between two devices when both are\n associated with a common token, and the API keys used by the calling apps are\n associated with the same project in the [Google Developers Console](https://console.developers.google.com/).\n\nWhen using the Google Play services Nearby SDK, usage analytics are collected to\nimprove the experience.\n\n- **Performance metrics:** The duration of publishes and subscriptions and the number of messages received is collected when using the Nearby SDK.\n- **Device information:** Device model, country, build version and the application package name are collected and associated with the performance metrics to identify regional and device-specific slices.\n- **Nearby Messages publishes:** Data published through Nearby Messages is stored by Google until the message is no longer published. This data is shared with subscribers who are near the device.\n\nEnd users can allow or deny this collection by navigating to Settings \\\u003e Google \\\u003e\nUsage \\& diagnostics."]]
