Overview
- Pixel 10 phones can now send and receive files with iPhones, iPads, and Macs through new Quick Share–AirDrop interoperability.
- Devices use Bluetooth for discovery before switching to a direct local Wi‑Fi link so files do not pass through external servers.
- Receiving on Apple hardware requires enabling AirDrop’s “Everyone for 10 Minutes” visibility before approving the transfer.
- Google highlights security measures including an independent NetSPI penetration test and Rust-based components to reduce memory‑safety risks.
- Rollout is limited to Pixel 10 with a Quick Share extension delivered via Google Play updates, and Google plans to expand support to more Android devices, with reports pointing to Snapdragon models.
