Qualcomm has given a thumbs up to Google's recent announcement that Android's Quick Share will work seamlessly with iOS' AirDrop on Pixel 10 smartphones. The tech giant confirmed that their Snapdragon-powered devices will also benefit from this cross-platform file-sharing feature.
In a post on X, Qualcomm expressed excitement about the prospect of users trying out Quick Share once it becomes available on Snapdragon devices in the near future. While Google hinted at expanding Quick Share to more Android devices during its announcement, the Snapdragon confirmation is no surprise given the growing compatibility between different operating systems.
The new feature won't be limited to Pixel smartphones or devices running Google Tensor chips, meaning that users of various brands such as Samsung Galaxy, OnePlus, and Nothing phones can now share files with iPhone users. It's a significant development in bridging the gap between smartphone ecosystems.
However, Qualcomm hasn't revealed any specific details about when or which Snapdragon-powered devices will gain access to this feature. Nonetheless, it's possible that we may see Quick Share roll out on tablets and laptops as well, further reducing the friction between different operating systems.
The recent announcement by Apple regarding iOS 18 getting RCS compatibility has been a significant step in easing tensions between smartphone manufacturers. Now, with Qualcomm's endorsement of Quick Share, it seems that we're witnessing a new era of interoperability between Android and iOS devices.
