Google Makes It Easier to Share Files Between Android and iPhone

Google is expanding Quick Share support to more Android brands in 2026, while QR code-based sharing to iPhone is rolling out to all Android devices now.

The company also plans to extend Quick Share into apps, making cross-platform file sharing easier between Android and iOS.

Google is developing wireless phone-switching tools to transfer eSIMs, passwords, photos, messages, apps, contacts, and Home Screen layouts between Android and iPhone.

The changes reduce friction between the two biggest mobile ecosystems and reflect growing interoperability pressure, including from EU rules.
