Your older Pixel is about to talk to iPhones way better than before
Pixel 8 and Pixel Tablet reportedly gaining AirDrop support
Google is expanding its Quick Share feature, which allows for cross-platform sharing with iPhones, to more Pixel devices. The feature, which was initially limited to the Pixel 10 family, has been slowly rolled out to other devices, including the Pixel 9 and budget Pixel phones.
The Pixel 8 and Pixel Tablet were previously exceptions, but it seems Google is now closing those gaps. According to Android Authority, Pixel 7 and Pixel 8 users are starting to see notifications of the new support.
Google brought AirDrop compatibility to Quick Share on Pixel 10 phones last fall and eventually expanded it to the Pixel 8a series and the new Pixel 11 family.
