Android and iOS file sharing: Android’s Quick Share now works with iPhone’s AirDrop

Google has rolled out a major update that lets users transfer files seamlessly between Android and iPhone using Quick Share and AirDrop, starting with its new Pixel 10 family.

Google announced that Quick Share can now interface directly with AirDrop, making file transfers between Android and iPhone simpler and more intuitive.

The feature begins rolling out today on Pixel 10 devices, with plans underway to bring the experience to more Android handsets.

Google emphasised that security remains fundamental to the rollout, stating that robust safeguards tested by independent experts protect data during transfers.

The update underscores Google’s push for better cross-platform compatibility, following earlier efforts such as improved rich communication services (RCS) and unknown tracker alerts.

Google says this is just the start, as the company looks forward to expanding the experience to more Android users, aiming to eliminate friction in device interoperability.
