A recent discovery inside Google Play Services hints at a new feature called Quick Share for iPhone. This feature will enable iPhone users to directly share end-to-end encrypted files with other devices, including iPhones. The development of this feature was initially spotted in a GitHub repository last year, pointing towards Google's focus on creating a multiplatform sharing tool.
Currently, iPhone users rely on AirDrop for sharing files exclusively with other Apple devices. The introduction of Quick Share for iPhone would simplify the file-sharing process between iPhones and non-Apple devices, such as Android smartphones, PCs, and more. This feature could potentially bridge the gap in file sharing between different platforms, offering a seamless experience for all users.
