Last year, Google announced something many of us here at Tom's Guide thought was unthinkable. Quick Share, Android's Bluetooth file transfer tool, would start working with Apple's AirDrop on select phones — starting with the Google Pixel 10.

Other Android phones have added AirDrop support in the months since that announcement, including big names like Samsung and OnePlus. Google even announced that, as part of the June Android ecosystem update, AirDrop support would be coming to a bunch more (unnamed) devices. Sadly, despite that rapid growth, AirDrop support is only available on a relatively small number of Android devices.

Here's a full list of every Android phone that has the ability to share files to iPhone via AirDrop, and vice versa.

What to do if your phone doesn't support AirDrop

Using Quick Share to send files to iPhone is actually really easy, and functionally no different to sending files to other Android devices. The only real difference is branding, and all you need is to make sure you have a compatible device.

Simply select the file (or files) you want to share, tap the Share button, then select the Quick Share option. If the destination iPhone has been set to receive files via AirDrop, it will appear in a list of destinations on your phone screen. Tap it, follow the on-screen instructions and you're good to go.

But what if your phone doesn't support AirDrop sharing yet? Thankfully, Google has developed a workaround, which transfers files to iPhones using cloud storage and a QR code. This update was announced at Google I/O in May, and the transfer process is just as simple as using Quick Share itself.

You go through the same sharing process, but instead select the Use QR code option, instead of directly connecting to another device. Scan that QR code with your iPhone, and the connection will initialize automatically. It's not quite as fast and secure as a direct Bluetooth connection, but it's still the most convenient way to transfer files between Android and iPhone when AirDrop support isn't available.
