Google hints at big AirDrop expansion for Android “very soon”
Summary
Google is planning a broad expansion of AirDrop-like file sharing to Android devices in 2026, expanding beyond Pixel 10. The rollout leverages the Wi-Fi Aware standard to enable cross‑platform transfers with Apple devices, aided by a Play Store APK extension for easier updates; some limitations remain, including the need for Apple devices to enable 'Everyone for 10 minutes' and the absence of contact-based sharing.
