AirDrop support is expanded

The system AirDrop It is one of the most convenient features for users to use an Apple ecosystem. It is a function dedicated to file sharing. Its operation is simple. You select a file from iPhoneactivate AirDrop and choose the device to share it on. At this point, just give the green light to transfer files between two iPhones or, more often, from iPhone to Mac.

According to a preview from the Android Authority portal, Google is now ready to extend this system many Android devices. It all started with an experiment launched last year with the Google Pixel 10, the latest line of smartphones produced directly by Google. The Pixel 10 had introduced interoperability between AirDrop and the Quick Share systema function similar to AirDrop but designed for Android devices.

Google’s announcement: “We work with partners”

At first it seemed like this feature would only remain on Pixel models. At most one was expected extension for older devices of this line. Then the surprise. The journalist Adamya Sharma was present at a press conference at Google’s offices in Taipei, Taiwan. Here a Google manager explained that the interoperability between Quick Share and AirDrop would be extended to new devices:

“We put a lot of time and energy into making sure we could build something that was compatible not only with iPhone, but also with iPad and MacBook. Now that we’ve proven it, we’re working with our partners to extend it to the rest of the ecosystem, and you should see new announcements soon.”

Sure, at the moment the times are not yet clear. It is not known whether this feature will already be available for Android 16 or whether it will be necessary to wait for the next Google operating system update.
