Last year, Google first enabled AirDrop compatibility on Pixel 10 devices, a change that finally let Android phones share files with iPhones using Apple’s own system. Now, Google is expanding its Quick Share feature, and Pixel 9 phones are next in line.
Google shared the news on X, confirming that the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold now support Apple’s AirDrop. However, the company hasn’t explained why the Pixel 9a is excluded from this wave of compatibility. The feature will roll out over the coming weeks in phases. How to set up Quick Share with AirDrop on Pixel phones To enable the feature on a Pixel 9 series phone, follow these steps: Settings >System >Software updates >install the latest Google Play System update. Recommended Videos Make sure the Quick Share extension is also updated by opening Settings >All services >System services >Quick Share extension and installing the available update. To receive files from a Pixel, Apple device owners need to set their AirDrop visibility to “Everyone for 10 Minutes,” allowing the connection to establish. Google’s promise on privacy and performance Google says the update allows Pixel 9 users to easily share high-resolution files with iPhones, iPads, and macOS devices. This makes it easier for friends using Apple products to exchange content over Bluetooth. Google also says that privacy and speed remain priorities, adding that the system uses multiple layers of protection to keep shared files secure. The feature uses a direct, peer-to-peer connection, so files are not sent through servers, logged, or shared beyond the transfer itself. For Pixel 9 users, it’s a small update that finally removes a big everyday annoyance when sharing files with iPhone friends.
