Overview
- The interoperability is live on the Pixel 10 lineup and enables two‑way sharing with iPhones, iPads, and Macs via AirDrop.
- Transfers require the Apple device to switch AirDrop to “Everyone for 10 minutes,” with Bluetooth used for discovery before a local Wi‑Fi link handles the file transfer.
- Google says the implementation uses Rust for parsing to reduce memory‑safety risks, and NetSPI’s audit reported no data leakage.
- Support arrives through a Google Play system update plus a Quick Share extension app update on Pixel 10 devices.
- Qualcomm’s Snapdragon team and some OEMs have signaled plans to extend the feature to more Android phones, with timelines unannounced and Apple yet to comment.
