Apple's AirDrop, a seamless file-sharing tool exclusive to iOS devices, is now available on select Android phones. Following its debut on the Pixel 10, the feature has expanded to two new models from Oppo and Vivo, per 9to5Google. This marks a rare move for Apple, which typically keeps innovations like iMessage and AirDrop within its ecosystem.
The shift aligns with Apple's broader strategy to support interoperability, such as adopting Qi 2 (a rebranded MagSafe standard) and embracing the Matter smart home protocol. For Android users, this means easier collaboration with iPhone owners without relying on third-party apps.
