Google announced today that its Quick Share feature for file transfer between Android and iPhone is being expanded to more Android devices, allowing more users to share cross-platform files and photos through a method similar to AirDrop. Quick Share has previously supported interoperability with Apple's AirDrop, allowing users to complete point-to-point transfers between Android phones and iPhones with a nearly native AirDrop experience.
According to information released by Google, the Android smartphones currently supported by Quick Share include the following models:
Samsung:
Galaxy S26, S26+, S26 Ultra
Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra, S25 Edge (new)
Galaxy S24, S24+, S24 Ultra (new)
Galaxy Z Flip7 (new)
Galaxy Z Fold7 (new)
Galaxy Z Flip6 (new)
Galaxy Z Fold6 (new)
Galaxy Z TriFold (new)
Google:
Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, 10 Pro Fold, 10a
Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, 9 Pro Fold, 9a
Pixel 8a
Other models:
HONOR Magic V6 (new)
OnePlus 15 (new)
Xiaomi 17T Pro
OPPO Find X9, X9 Pro, X9 Ultra, X9s
OPPO Find N6
Vivo X300, X300 Pro, X300 Ultra
Quick Share is regarded as the equivalent of AirDrop in the Android camp. Google introduced integration with AirDrop in November 2025, allowing iPhone users to send files and photos directly to Android devices that support Quick Share just like AirDrop to other Apple devices; similarly, Android users can also send files to iPhone through Quick Share.
On Android devices, users need to make sure the "Share with Apple Devices" setting is turned on, while iPhone users need to set AirDrop visibility to "Everyone for 10 minutes" in Control Center. After completing the above settings, the file transfer process from Android to iPhone, the interaction on the iPhone side is almost the same as the ordinary AirDrop experience. When sharing files from iPhone to Android phones, users still operate through the standard AirDrop interface, and Android users need to turn on Quick Share receiving mode first, and then the Android device will appear in the iPhone's AirDrop target list.
For Android devices that do not yet support Quick Share, Google provides an alternative: such devices can generate a QR code and share content with iPhone users through the cloud, thereby still achieving cross-platform file transfer capabilities even if the hardware is not fully compatible. Although Google positions the mutual transfer between Quick Share and AirDrop as a function between Android and iPhone, Android users can also use this feature to exchange files with iPad and Mac, further expanding the interconnection scenarios with the Apple ecosystem.
Looking forward, Google plans to promote Quick Share to more new folding screen and flagship models in the next few months, including Motorola Razr Fold 2026, OPPO Find X8 series and HONOR Magic8 Pro. With the expanded lineup of supported devices, Android users will have a more consistent and convenient near-field sharing experience when transferring files to and from Apple devices.
