"Google delighted its Pixel users last year by introducing an updated version of Quick Share that worked with Apple's AirDrop, but it has remained exclusive to the Pixel 10 series with a promise to bring it to older Pixel phones as well. Now Eric Kay, Vice President of Engineering at Google, confirmed that Quick Share compatibility with Apple's AirDrop is coming to a wider range of Android devices."
"Maybe the signs were there all along after Google upgraded the Quick Share Extension from a system app to a full-fledged APK that can be found on Google Play. This was a clear sign that Google plans to expand the feature to all Android phones, not tied to Pixel-only hardware. Eric Kay said that the Quick Share-AirDrop interoperability is coming later this year after testing it out on the Pixel 10 series."
Google introduced an updated Quick Share that worked with Apple's AirDrop on the Pixel 10 series while keeping the feature exclusive initially. Google upgraded the Quick Share Extension from a system app to an APK on Google Play, indicating plans to expand availability. Eric Kay confirmed Quick Share–AirDrop interoperability will roll out to more Android devices later this year after successful Pixel 10 testing. The interoperability enables file sharing with iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks. Google is coordinating with hardware partners to bring the feature to other handsets. Oppo and Xiaomi already offer AirDrop-like cross-platform connectivity in ColorOS and HyperOS.
