Quick Share is Android’s feature for sharing files between Android or Windows devices, and AirDrop is Apple’s alternative for sharing items between your devices. Until now these were two separate standards, but Google has started to merge them.
It’s two-way compatibility, so you can send things from Android to iOS, but also from iOS to Android. As we have told you, this innovation has first reached the Pixel 10, the flagship of Google phones, but the idea is to also bring it to other Android phones.
Send files from Android to iPhone

Google has released the function with an update for Google Play System. This update will arrive progressively to all users, so if you don’t have it yet, you should have it soon.
Once you have the function activated, what you have to do is enter the Android quick settings and choose the Quick Share function, then choosing the file you want to share. You will also have the Quick Share option in the share menu of your Android.
Once you are on the screen to share elements with Quick Share, a list of nearby devices to send the file to will appear below, and in it Now nearby iPhones will appear. Then, choose the iPhone and its owner will receive your file as if it were from another iPhone through AirDroid.
One thing you should keep in mind is that, to receive files from Quick Share, iPhones must have a setting activated.
