Pixel AirDrop: Google Makes Sharing Easy With iPhone

Google has introduced Pixel AirDrop, a new upgrade that finally lets Android and iPhone users share files without stress. The feature begins rolling out to the Pixel 10 family today. The move makes everyday sharing feel simple, fast, and less confusing for users across platforms.

Quick Share Now Works With AirDrop

Google updated Quick Share so it can communicate directly with Apple’s AirDrop. As a result, users can send photos, videos, and documents between Android and iPhone without third-party apps. The process works instantly, and it avoids the friction many families face when mixing devices. The company said users wanted a cleaner and more direct option, and this rollout answers that request.

Built With Strong Privacy Protection

Google said the new sharing system was designed with security at its core. Independent experts tested the safeguards. The company highlighted that it protects data during transfers while keeping the experience fast. The new system also builds on earlier compatibility work, including RCS messaging and alerts for unknown trackers.

Starts With Pixel 10, Expands Soon

Pixel AirDrop will first appear on the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro. Google confirmed that more Android devices will support this feature soon. The rollout signals a new chapter for cross-platform cooperation. Moreover, it shows increasing pressure to make everyday tech less complicated for regular users.

Google shared a demo on the Pixel 10 Pro, showing how quickly files move between devices. The company expects more updates as it improves the system and expands the rollout. Users can try it now if they own a Pixel 10 or Pixel 10 Pro.
