Overview
- A teardown of Google Play Services version 25.34.31 beta surfaced language explicitly referencing Quick Share on iPhones.
- A manually enabled prompt indicates users must be signed in to send files to iPhones, unlike typical Android-to-Android transfers.
- The dialog mentions sending end-to-end encrypted files, signaling an account-based sharing flow under development.
- Reporters note the mechanism on iOS remains unproven, with speculation about a dedicated app or a cloud-based relay.
- References to iOS and macOS support first appeared about a year ago, as Quick Share has since expanded to ChromeOS and Windows.
