Google has announced a new step to enhance compatibility between operating systems, officially making file sharing available wirelessly between Android and iPhones, starting with the Pixel 10 series. This move comes in response to user requests for a simpler way to transfer media and files between different devices without the need for third-party apps. According to an official statement, Google clarified that the 'Quick Share' feature in Android is now capable of working in harmony with the 'AirDrop' feature on iPhones, allowing for easy file transfers from Android phones to iPhones and vice versa. The company noted that file sharing does not require any additional applications; the recipient's consent is sufficient for file exchange, and work is currently underway to make it available to more Android devices in the coming period. Practical testing shows that the system works in both directions, as iPhones can also send files to Pixel 10 phones using the same mechanism, which is a significant step toward better integration of the two most widespread systems in the world. It is worth noting that this feature has begun to roll out gradually to Pixel 10 phones and can be tried as soon as it is enabled, awaiting its availability on a wider range of Android devices in the next phase.
