Yes, AirDrop now works with non-Apple devices but is currently limited to the Pixel 10 phones. However, there is good news for other Android users, who will soon get the support for the cross platform file transfer thanks to Qualcomm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Google is using its own Tensor chip for Pixel devices so many assumed that the feature will be locked for its products but Qualcomm has shared the update which says more Snapdragon-powered devices will get AirDrop support soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>AirDrop For More Android Devices: What We Know<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Android file transfers to the iPhone has been a dream for many but Google has made it happen with its own integration that allows AirPods to interact with Android phones, specifically the Pixel 10 models. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">But Snapdragon getting this support means you don\u2019t need a Google device to use the feature, it can be done with a OnePlus, Nothing or even a Realme phone in the near future. That\u2019s not all, Qualcomm could even make AirDrop compatible with its X- series PC chips as well as Android tablets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\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=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><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. \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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><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. Qualcomm making the big reveal means it won\u2019t be long before we see other Android phones working with AirDrop and supporting cross platform file transfer in a seamless manner. <\/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-3149412987 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Delhi, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-77153e997a009dd0 jsx-3149412987 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>November 26, 2025, 15:41 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-77153e997a009dd0 jsx-3149412987 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/\">tech<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Android To iPhone File Transfer Will Soon Work On Non-Pixel Phones: Here\u2019s How<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
