Google’s AirDrop-like file sharing feature is expanding to more Android devices, with new support now confirmed on select phones from Oppo and Vivo. By leveraging Quick Share, Google is effectively enabling a workaround that mimics AirDrop functionality without native Apple integration. Google says Gen Z users are now the most active users of AI-powered search, as younger audiences increasingly rely on tools like Gemini for everyday queries. According to Google, Gen Z’s familiarity with digital platforms has made them more open to using AI tools for learning, decision-making, and exploring personal interests. Data shows that 89% of Gen Z users in the Philippines use Google Search every day, alongside similar figures in Indonesia and Thailand. Google said this shift is changing how people use search, from typing keywords to engaging in deeper, back-and-forth queries. Google said its AI systems are designed with safeguards, including the ability to detect potentially harmful queries and guide users toward appropriate resources. Google is expanding its AI-powered Gemini experience in Chrome to more users across the Asia Pacific region, including the Philippines.
