Xiaomi 17T Pro has become the latest Android device to support file sharing with iPhones through Google's Quick Share system.
The feature, demonstrated by Xiaomi, allows users to transfer files to an iPhone by generating a QR code that the iPhone scans.

The process is not identical to native AirDrop. Instead, Android creates a QR code that triggers a cloud-assisted transfer.
While it adds an extra step, it is far more convenient than emailing files or using third-party apps.
