Nothing has announced plans to bring cross-platform file sharing to its smartphones, aiming to become the second Android brand to support Quick Share’s new ability to connect with Apple’s AirDrop. This follows Google’s recent update that allows the Pixel 10 series to send files directly to iPhones using AirDrop’s “Everyone for 10 minutes” mode.
Nothing CEO Carl Pei shared the company’s interest on X shortly after Google’s announcement. This makes Nothing the first Android brand, aside from Google, to signal that it wants to adopt this new file-sharing feature. If developed, the update would let Nothing phone users send photos and files to Apple devices more easily.
The move comes after years of limited sharing between Android and Apple devices. Quick Share worked only within Android phones and Chromebooks, while AirDrop stayed exclusive to iPhones, iPads, and Macs. This gap slowly changed as EU rules pushed Apple to support wider standards for wireless sharing.
Google was the first to break the barrier by linking Quick Share and AirDrop on the Pixel 10 series. The feature is still exclusive to Pixel phones for now, but Nothing’s interest shows that more Android brands may follow.
If Nothing pushes through with this plan, it could pressure other companies like Samsung, Xiaomi, and OnePlus to also support cross-platform file sharing, making it easier for people to transfer files no matter what phone they use.
