Your older Pixel phone may finally be getting Quick Share AirDrop support
Pixel 7 and Pixel 8 users are starting to see surprise AirDrop alerts.
Android users have been able to share files between Pixel and iOS devices using Quick Share/AirDrop since last fall. However, this feature has only been available on certain Pixel models. Earlier reports indicated that the Pixel 8a and newer phones were included, but the Pixel Tablet was also added to the list. Now, it appears that support may be expanding further to include Pixel 7 and Pixel 8 users.
This development is a welcome change, as compatibility issues between Android and iOS devices have previously been a source of frustration. The arrival of Quick Share/AirDrop support on these devices signals a growing convergence between the two ecosystems, bringing Android closer to iOS in terms of seamless file sharing capabilities.
