Starting the Pixel 10 series smartphones, Android devices will finally be able to wirelessly share files with iPhones using the Quick Share-AirDrop bridge.
Google just announced that Android phones can now wirelessly share files with iPhones. And here’s the best part — There’s no third-party app involved. The Quick Share feature on Android will allow seamless file sharing with iPhones, which act as the recipient using the AirDrop system.
For now, this feature is exclusive to Google’s Pixel 10 series smartphones. Google won’t be the first brand to pull off such a stunt. The OnePlus 15 also implemented a similar tap-to-share file system in OxygenOS 16, and it works similarly to the NameDrop feature on iPhones. In OnePlus’ case, however, the wireless bridge requires the O+ Connect app on the iPhone to work. What Google has implemented doesn’t involve any third-party apps. You just tap the Quick Share option from the share sheet, and make sure AirDrop is enabled on the recipient’s iPhone.

And in case you’re wondering, this is a two-way file sharing system, which means iPhones can also knock at the doors of the Pixel 10 and send files. Google has built the whole system using Rust as the security foundation. “The core of this feature involves receiving and parsing data sent over a wireless protocol from another device,” adds the company. Notably, the new file sharing system is limited to AirDrop’s “Everyone for 10 minutes” mode.
