You can actually send files from Android phones to iPhone using the Quick Share feature. The company has been on a mission to work into Apple\u2019s walled garden, which started with the push for RCS (green bubble) messages that can work into iOS for iPhones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">And now, it has gone one step further by letting people send files without using any backdoor entry or a third-party file. \u201cWe\u2019re introducing a way for Quick Share to work with AirDrop. This makes file transfer easier between iPhones and Android devices,&#8221; as highlighted in a post by Google marking this significant change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Google And Apple Working In A Big Way<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">While we\u2019re yet to hear about the AirDrop update from Apple, Google has gone about taking the credit and assuring that its iPhone-centric Quick Share is as reliable and secure as its own version. Both these companies have been more vocal about their support for tracker devices so that the unknown alert is rightly put into use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The fact that Google\u2019s Quick Share is compatible with AirDrop means you just need to select the iPhone and the file transfer option will reflect on the receiving device. Apple\u2019s usual pitch about its wallet garden has been user privacy and its lack of control over how third-party apps or features behave on its platforms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">So what has Google done to quell the privacy concerns? \u201cWe built this with security at its core, protecting your data with strong safeguards that were tested by independent security experts,&#8221; the company assures. It also mentions the same standard across all its products has been applied for AirDrop support as well which has been pointed out here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>AirDrop On Android: How To Send Files<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">You follow the same process to send files on Quick Share. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">You select a file on the Android phone<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Go to Quick Share and look for the iPhone visible in your area <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The AirDrop will show an alert on the iPhone about the file transfer request, which you can accept to receive. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Once the transfer is complete the files\/images will open on the iPhone.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Apple has been quiet since the feature was announced but for now Google is only letting you use the new Quick Share option if you have any of the latest Pixel 10 series devices. Other brands are likely to tap into this support on Android and we are eager to see how and when that happens. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"S Aadeetya\" title=\"S Aadeetya\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-77153e997a009dd0 jsx-2343175253 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Delhi, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-77153e997a009dd0 jsx-2343175253 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>November 24, 2025, 08:25 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-77153e997a009dd0 jsx-2343175253 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/\">tech<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> It\u2019s Here!
