Google Enables Quick ShareAirDrop Transfers on Pixel 10 Devices

The cross‑platform sharing works only when visibility is set to “Everyone for 10 minutes.”

Overview

  • Support is live for the Pixel 10 lineup and works with iPhone, iPad, and Mac for two‑way file transfers.
  • The connection is direct, peer‑to‑peer, and avoids server routing or content logging, according to Google.
  • Google says it built the interoperability on its own and invited Apple to collaborate on adding “Contacts Only” support.
  • Security hardening includes a Rust‑based implementation and independent testing by NetSPI, which reported a low‑severity issue that Google fixed.
  • Apple has not issued a public comment, and Google plans to expand the feature to more Android devices over time.
