Google has officially confirmed that its Quick Share feature will soon allow Android users to transfer files directly to Apple’s AirDrop, expanding a capability previously thought to be exclusive to the Pixel 10 series. Google’s strategy involves transitioning the Quick Share Extension from a system-level background service into a standalone application on the Play Store. Nothing Phone has been the first third-party brand to confirm it will integrate the updated Quick Share feature. Currently, sharing high-resolution photos or large documents between Android and iOS often requires third-party cloud services or messaging apps, which can compress file quality. The integration of Quick Share and AirDrop aims to eliminate these hurdles using a combination of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct protocols.
