Google Pixel Tablet Gains Quick Share iPhone Transfers on 2023 Device

3 articles · Updated · Android Authority · Sep 4

Summary

  • A Pixel Tablet running Android 17 is now showing Quick Share prompts for sending files to iPhones, indicating Google has quietly extended the feature beyond phones.
  • A screenshot shared by tipster Joe Lenington suggests the support was added recently, though Google has not said when the rollout began.
  • Google’s Quick Share FAQ still omits the 2023 tablet from its supported-device list, but fine print says the feature works on “mobile devices and tablets,” suggesting the page is outdated.
  • The expansion follows Google’s broader push to let Android devices share with Apple hardware via AirDrop, a capability previously limited to Pixel 8a and newer, recent Galaxy models, and select Chinese-brand phones.
