#android airdrop

Google's Nearby Share has been out for 2 years now and Android users have rejoiced. But despite being a feature that we've all wanted to come to Android, it hasn't caught on to AirDrop in popularity and utility just yet.

Google has confirmed that AirDrop-style sharing between Android and Apple devices will soon be available on more Android phones, not just Pixel models. During a press briefing, Eric Kay, Google’s vice president of engineering for Android, said that support for Quick Share with Apple’s AirDrop will expand to “a lot more” Android devices this year. This means users will soon be able to send files directly between Android phones and iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks without using cables or third-party apps. Quick Share, Android’s wireless file-sharing tool, was updated last year to work with Apple’s AirDrop. Google says it spent time making sure the system works smoothly across Apple devices before bringing it to more Android brands.
