Android Gets AirDrop-Style iPhone File Transfer on Snapdragon Devices
Qualcomm has confirmed that Quick Share’s new iPhone file transfer capability will expand to Snapdragon-powered Android devices after Google launched the feature exclusively on Tensor G5-powered Pixel 10 series.
Google recently announced that Quick Share will support sending files to iPhones via the same wireless method Apple uses for AirDrop.
Quick Share is Android’s system-level feature that currently lets users share files to other Android devices and Windows PCs.
The cross-platform support currently only works on Pixel 10 series devices.
The official Snapdragon account on X reposted Google’s announcement and added, “Can’t wait for people to use this once enabled on Snapdragon in the near future.”
While Google hinted wider support was planned, Qualcomm’s public statement confirms this won’t remain a Pixel-only feature.

There’s no official rollout date or list of supported Snapdragon chipsets.
Newer Snapdragon generations will likely receive the feature first, followed by gradual expansion across phones from Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Motorola, and other major brands using Qualcomm silicon.
MediaTek and Samsung haven’t commented on Dimensity and Exynos platform support.
Since Quick Share is integrated into Android, support for those chips is expected, though not publicly confirmed.
Quick Share’s cross-platform abilities will likely spread beyond phones.
Android tablets and Chromebooks already support Quick Share internally, so the same pipeline could eventually allow them to send files to iPhones and iPads.
The divide between Android and iOS file sharing has persisted for years despite AirDrop working effortlessly inside Apple’s ecosystem.
With Qualcomm joining the expansion, the gap between platforms is set to narrow significantly.
