Can Google Pixel now AirDrop to iPhone?
The Cross-Platform Breakthrough
Google officially expanded AirDrop support to Pixel 9 series phones on February 17-18, 2026, allowing seamless file sharing with iPhones, iPads, and Macs.
Which Devices Work
Pixel 9 series: Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and 9 Pro Fold now support AirDrop interoperability via Quick Share.
Pixel 10 series: Already supported since November 2025.
Pixel 10a: First A-series phone to launch with AirDrop support out of the box.
The Catch
Pixel 9a is not supported despite being newer than some Pixel 9 variants—a strategic omission that seems deliberate. Google says more Android phones will gain compatibility later in 2026, with partners like Nothing and Qualcomm already working on implementation.
