How Does Quick Share Work with iPhone AirDrop?
Quick Share works with AirDrop when the iPhone is set to “Everyone for 10 minutes” mode. Once enabled, Pixel 10 users can see the iPhone as an available device and start transferring files instantly. Google calls this the first step toward seamless cross-platform sharing, aiming to eventually support “Contacts Only” mode for safer and more private transfers.
Which Devices Support Quick Share and AirDrop Compatibility?
Currently, the Pixel 10 series is the first Android lineup to support Quick Share with AirDrop. Compatible Apple devices include iPhone, iPad, and macOS computers. Google plans to roll out the feature to additional Android phones, expanding the ease of sharing files between different ecosystems.
Why This Update Matters for Users
Cross-platform sharing has long been a headache for users who switch between Android and Apple devices. Android’s Quick Share now works with iPhone’s AirDrop, bridging the gap and saving time. With this update, sharing files becomes effortless, boosting productivity and reducing friction between devices.
