Google’s Quick Share simplifies file transfers between Android and iPhone.

For Android devices without AirDrop support, Quick Share can generate a QR code to instantly share content with iOS devices via the cloud.
The QR code sharing feature is being introduced to all Android devices starting today and will be fully available within a month. Google also plans to integrate Quick Share into apps like WhatsApp soon.
Additionally, Google collaborated with Apple to facilitate easier switching from iPhone to Android—a process required under Europe’s Digital Markets Act. While Apple introduced this feature in iOS 26.3, Google says it will be available on Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel devices in 2026.
The transfer capabilities will enable users to wirelessly migrate eSIMs, passwords, photos, messages, apps, contacts, and home-screen layouts from an iPhone to an Android device. Similarly, Google has developed tools to simplify switching from Android to iPhone.
