The Pixel 10 series<\/a> gained the ability to share files with iPhones<\/a> via Quick Share in November last year. Now, it appears Google is preparing to extend the feature to the older Pixel 9 lineup<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

According to a new report, the latest Android Canary build for the Pixel 9 series includes additional system files needed to enable Quick Share file transfers between Android and iPhone.<\/p>\n

However, these files were absent from the Pixel 9a and older Pixel 8 builds, as per the report. This suggests that Google has not yet begun testing the feature on those devices.<\/p>\n

When Google announced Quick Share\u2019s interoperability with Apple\u2019s AirDrop, it confirmed that older Pixel models and other Android phones would receive support over time. And it\u2019s nice to know that Google is indeed working on bringing the feature to more devices.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible that the feature could roll out to the Pixel 9 series with the Android 16 QPR3 build, or perhaps in a future stable update.<\/p>\n
