official approval; File transfer from Android to iOS is possible for Snapdragon phones

The biggest hurdle between users of the Android and iOS ecosystem, the difficulty of file sharing, will soon be resolved for a wide range of devices. Qualcomm has recently confirmed that the new Quick Share feature, which allows you to send files to AirDrop iPhone, will not be exclusive to Google Pixel phones. According to the official announcement of this company, devices equipped with Snapdragon processors will also receive this revolutionary feature in the near future. This news is considered a big evolution in cross-platform interactions.

Previously, it was thought that the ability to send files from Android to iPhone, which is supposed to be unveiled with the introduction of the Pixel 10 series, is one of the exclusive features of Google’s Tensor processors. But the new post of Snapdragon’s official account on social network X (formerly Twitter) has rejected this hypothesis. By republishing the official Android post, Qualcomm expressed its desire that users will soon be able to benefit from this feature on Snapdragon devices. This confirmation indicates that there is no specific hardware monopoly for this technology and that Google plans to implement it more widely.

Although Qualcomm did not specify an exact time frame for the release of this feature and only said “in the near future”, this official confirmation is good news for Android users. With this move, flagship and mid-range smartphones that use powerful Snapdragon chips will be able to send photos, videos and documents to iPhone users without the need for external programs and only through internal protocols. This issue can end years of trouble for users to transfer files between two operating systems.
