Google just dropped a bombshell. Quick Share is now compatible with Apple’s AirDrop, allowing Android and iOS users to seamlessly share files, photos, videos, and more without relying on third-party services.
The surprise announcement, which the tech giant made in a blog post earlier today, should offer a huge boost in interoperability.
This appears to be a protocol-level handshake, and not a simple workaround. That is precisely why the integration is currently limited to Google’s latest Pixel 10 series. There seems to be no such device-related limitation on Apple’s side.
“Android and iPhone users can now share files, starting with the Pixel 10 family,” wrote Google, suggesting that the functionality can/might expand to older Pixels and other Android devices in the near future.
This is a developing story…
