Older Pixel Devices Gain Quick Share AirDrop Support
Android devices have been gradually gaining cross-platform AirDrop/Quick Share support in recent months. Initially, this feature was limited to specific device models, including the Pixel 8a and later. However, a possible expansion of this support has now been reported, with users of the older Pixel Tablet, as well as Pixel 7 and Pixel 8 handsets, receiving notifications about the new functionality.
It is worth noting that these reports may be part of a phased rollout, and some users have claimed that the notification was premature or not working for them. This suggests that the expansion may still be in its early stages, with software updates potentially tied to specific devices and timelines.
Android Authority has reached out to Google to confirm which Pixel devices will receive this support, but as of now, it is unclear when exactly this feature will become fully available to all eligible users. We will update this post with any additional information we receive.
