According to Google, "Quick Share" is included in the specific Pixel 10 series; thus, Apple will eventually come up with AirDrop. This means that Pixel users now have a very easy way to send pictures, videos, or documents to iPhone users (Mac, iPad) without using other applications to send media files by mail from someone else's account.
How It Works
Begin by setting the iPhone or Mac user's AirDrop to "Everyone for 10 Minutes" visibility.
Next, the Pixel 10 user will choose the file to share and press "Quick Share".
After that, a notification will appear on the iPhone just as with a normal AirDrop, whereupon the other user can touch "Accept" in order to receive the file. And vice versa: An Apple AirDrop sent from iDesign will also be accepted on a Pixel if the Quick Share "Receive mode" has been enabled in the Pixel.
Security and Privacy of Quick Share by Google and AirDrop by Apple
It is direct and peer-to-peer like that, without the structure of servers to which we send this data, and logging contents of this transfer are not logged.
Google assured that all these actions of sharing were done in the Rust programming language, which is certified for memory safety. To add, this feature has been independently audited by the security firm NetSPI, which goes on to say that this feature is much more secure than industrial-scale cross-platform solutions.
What is Next?
This feature is currently for Pixel 10 Series devices, i.e., Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Fold. But Google is not stopping there, as they will increase the number of supported Android devices in due time. The future that they aspire to is when Apple will also embrace this as a much narrower and safer mode known as Contacts Only.
Advantages to Users
Explorative experience: Sending is as easy as it gets from Android to IAS or Mac-everything is possible without using third-party apps or emails.
Self-rule: Everything is a peer-by-peer process and has an access point so that you can completely control everything.
Switching devices: Many homes and offices use mixed devices (Android + iOS). This will save lots of time and effort for the user.
This new feature changes history inasmuch as cross-platform portability goes. It just makes it easier to share files between Apple iPhone and Pixel users. This is a way by which a user could safely share their identity with great ease.
