After launching on the Pixel 10 series last year, Google has teased that AirDrop support via Quick Share will be coming to more Android phones, with announcements coming “very soon.”
During a press briefing at Google’s offices in Taipei this week – where the company was giving tours for some influencers/media – Google’s Eric Kay revealed that support for AirDrop via Quick Share will be expanding. Kay, Google’s VP of Engineering on the Android team, said that the functionality would be arriving this year for Android phones beyond the Pixel 10 series now that the company has “proven” the functionality.
Kay explained, as transcribed by Android Authority:
Last year, we launched AirDrop interoperability. In 2026, we’re going to be expanding it to a lot more devices…
We spent a lot of time and energy to make sure that we could build something that was compatible not only with iPhone but iPads and MacBooks. Now that we’ve proven it…
