Quick Share's new extension app now enables compatibility with Apple's AirDrop, facilitating file transfers between Android devices and iPhones, iPads, and Macs.
Feature Rollout and Requirements
The feature currently rolls out to Google's Pixel 10 series. Users need to install the Quick Share extension app, which is part of a Play System Update. The Play Store must also update the app for seamless operation. Users can verify installation by checking the app version 1.0.815689706 under system apps.
- Google Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL are the first to receive the update.
- Other Pixel 10 devices will follow suit.
- No additional software is necessary on Apple devices.
Ensure your device is connected to Wi-Fi and charging for optimal update installation.
Usage and Compatibility
Quick Share now allows bidirectional file transfer, letting Apple devices send files to Android ones with the extension. Apple users need to set AirDrop to "Everyone for 10 minutes" to receive files from Android devices.
Reportedly, the Quick Share extension greatly improves interoperability between Android and iOS, enhancing user experience across platforms without requiring additional downloads on Apple devices.
