Quick Share is the Android equivalent of AirDrop, and Google added AirDrop integration in November 2025. iPhone users can AirDrop files and photos to Quick Share-enabled Android devices, while Android users can use Quick Share to send files and photos to iPhone users.
On an Android device, users should ensure that the Share with Apple devices setting is enabled and that the iPhone user sets AirDrop visibility to “Everyone for 10 minutes” via Control Center. From there, an Android to iPhone file transfer is the same as a standard AirDrop transfer on the iPhone side.
On an iPhone, sharing a file to an Android smartphone is done via the standard AirDrop interface. Android owners receiving files will need to make sure Quick Share receive mode is enabled, then an iPhone user sending a file will see the Android device in the AirDrop list.
Android devices that are not compatible with Quick Share can generate a QR code that can be used to share content with iPhone users via the cloud.
Although Google positions the Quick Share to AirDrop file transfer feature as an Android/iPhone option, Android users can also exchange files with iPads and Macs.
Google plans to bring Quick Share to Motorola Razr Fold 2026, OPPO Find X8 and HONOR Magic8 Pro series in the coming months.
