New Delhi, November 3: Google is expected to make file sharing between Android and iPhone devices much simpler. The change could significantly improve how users transfer files across different platforms. Google launched a feature called Quick Share, which was previously known as Nearby Share, back in 2020. The service allows users to easily transfer files from one device to another using a local network connection.

As per a report of Android Authority, Google might soon make it easier to share files with Apple devices by expanding its sharing tool to work with iPhones and MacBooks. The update could allow users to transfer files directly between Android and Apple products. Quick Share on Android works similarly to AirDrop, which allows users to send files between Android devices, Chromebooks, and Windows PC. According to a report of Techradar, Quick Share might soon be available on iOS and macOS, which would support iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Google Announces 7 New AI Updates To Transform Maps and Search Experiences.

If they decide to launch Quick Share for Apple devices, they might either offer it as a separate app or include it within one of their current applications.
