Google's older smartphones gain iPhone's most desired feature

SAPO Notícias6 September 2026 at 08:00

Ecosystem interoperability has been one of the biggest challenges for smartphone users. Direct file sharing between Android and iOS devices has always represented a significant daily challenge.

Apple's AirDrop has always been one of the most desired features among Android users, allowing quick and direct file sharing between devices of the brand.

Google is implementing this direct file sharing functionality on its older smartphones, bringing the experience closer together between the two operating systems.

This change represents an important step in breaking down barriers between the Android and Apple ecosystems, making life easier for users who need to share files between devices from different brands.
