First, the iPhone user must be within Bluetooth range. Additionally, they need to change their AirDrop® visibility to Everyone for 10 minutes. Next, open the file that you want to share with the iPhone user on a supported Android device. Then, tap Share, select Quick Share and choose the nearby iPhone. The iPhone user then accepts the AirDrop® prompt to receive the file.
AirDrop® is Apple’s file-sharing feature for Apple devices. With the latest update on compatible Android devices, Quick Share can work with AirDrop® to enable file sharing between supported Android and all iPhone devices.
