At the time, this interoperability between Quick Share and Apple\u2019s AirDrop was exclusive to the Pixel 10 series. However, the tech giant promised that support would eventually roll out to older Pixel phones. It appears that rollout is now starting to happen for the Pixel 9 series.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_2m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_Gh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Gh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When Google promised that Quick Share and AirDrop interoperability would come to older Pixel phones, the company did not provide a timeline for when this would occur. Despite that, by digging through Android Canary version ZP11.251212.007, we discovered last month that Google was laying the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/pixel-9-airdrop-quick-share-support-android-canary-3630861\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">groundwork for support in the Pixel 9 series<\/a>. This suggested that Pixel 9 owners may not have to wait much longer before getting the feature.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to today and it appears that Google may have started rolling out AirDrop support in Quick Share to the Pixel 9 series. Over on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GooglePixel\/comments\/1r3j3w8\/pixel_9_pro_airdrop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Reddit<\/a>, some Pixel 9 owners claim to be able to share files between their Pixel and Apple devices. One user reports that support is available on their Pixel 9 Pro XL, which is on a stable version of Android. Another user says they updated their Pixel 9 Pro, and the feature is now available for them.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Gh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Quick Share AirDrop Pixel 9\"  alt=\"Quick Share AirDrop Pixel 9\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Quick-Share-AirDrop-Pixel-9.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>However, it doesn\u2019t seem like Quick Share and AirDrop interoperability is available for all Pixel 9 owners yet. There are several users in the thread who say they don\u2019t have support.<\/p>\n<p>Does Quick Share work with AirDrop on your Pixel 9 phone yet?
