AirDrop on Pixel: Every Google smartphone that supports the Apple feature

You might not know this, but AirDrop isn't exclusive to Apple devices.

So, if you've grown tired of hearing your Apple friends say, "Just AirDrop it to me," there may be a solution.

The over-the-air file sharing feature is synonymous with iPhones (as well as iPads and Mac devices), but Google recently made it available on select Pixel devices, too. All you need to do is tap the Quick Share button on the content you want to send to a nearby Apple device, and as long as their AirDrop settings are open for business, you'll be able to AirDrop the photo or document to them.

However, not all Pixel phones support AirDrop.

Every Pixel phone that can use AirDrop

Here is the full list of every Pixel phone that can AirDrop content with Apple devices:

• Pixel 9

• Pixel 9 Pro

• Pixel 9 Pro XL

• Pixel 9 Pro Fold

• Pixel 10

• Pixel 10 Pro

• Pixel 10 Pro XL

• Pixel 10 Pro Fold

• Pixel 10a

In other words, it's only compatible with the Pixel 9 and Pixel 10 families. There is one notable exception, however: The Pixel 9a does not support AirDrop via Quick Share. Anyone with Google's mid-range Pixel 9 device will need to upgrade to take advantage of this feature.

And hopefully Google can keep this useful feature around for future Pixel releases, too.
