Google is working on Quick Share for iPhone: Here’s everything we know so far

Google is working on bringing Quick Share support for iPhones and MacBooks, according to a report by Android Authority. While rumors of Quick Share arriving on iOS started around a year back, we finally a more substantive leak that more or less confirms that the file sharing system co-developed by Google and Samung could soon support iPhones as well. 

For the unversed, Quick Share comes in-built in Android devices and can be used to quickly transfer files like photos, videos, documents, and links with nearby devices. The feature works without the need of internet, downloading apps, or signing into accounts.

Google had launched Quick Share on Android a few years ago and then subsequently went on to implement the solution on ChromeOS and Windows as well. 

However, with iPhone users not having Quick Share on their devices, sharing between devices became a tricky task with users mostly relying on WhatsApp or Email apps for small file shares. 

The sign in requirement could be due to the Quick Share app on iOS requiring access to a Google account but there is no way to be certain at this moment. 

Curently, some OEMs like Oppo and OnePlus offer a solution to transfer files from Android and iPhones wirelessly via the Oconnect+ app. However, this solution is not available for any other brand devices.

Meanwhile, other Android phone users will have to wait for quick internet free wireless transfers until the Quick Share app becomes available on iOS.
