Qualcomm has confirmed that Android’s new cross-platform file-sharing feature will not remain exclusive to Google’s Pixel 10 lineup. In a post on X, the company said that support for Quick Share to AirDrop transfers will be available on Snapdragon-powered devices “in the near future.”
Since a vast majority of Android smartphones around the globe are based on Snapdragon processors, it is safe to say that AirDrop compatibility will reach most Androids next year.
Can't wait for people to use this once enabled on Snapdragon in the near future. https://t.co/IUvT23p5pq

Google first announced the feature this week, revealing that Pixel 10 smartphones can now send and receive files directly with Apple devices using AirDrop. iPhone, iPad, and macOS users simply need to make their devices discoverable to anyone, after which Pixel 10 users can send files through Quick Share. The process works both ways, allowing AirDrop to detect Pixel 10 devices when they are set to receive.
Qualcomm’s confirmation means the feature will eventually extend far beyond Pixel phones and Google Tensor hardware. Once enabled, users of Snapdragon-powered devices, such as Samsung Galaxy models, OnePlus phones, and Nothing devices, and any smartphone running a Snapdragon chip will also be able to share files with Apple devices through this unified system.
The company did not specify which Snapdragon devices would receive the update first, or when the rollout would begin. It also did not rule out support for other product categories, such as tablets or laptops.
The development follows another major step toward cross-platform cooperation: Apple’s announcement that iOS 18 will add RCS support. With this new file-sharing update and RCS on the way, long-standing friction between iPhone and Android ecosystems is finally beginning to ease.
