Google pushes AirDrop for Android, AI model code buys, and new Android backup controls loom

Google’s Quick Share-to-AirDrop bridge is still spreading across Android, with Pixel 10 leading the rollout and Pixel 9 now included after support expanded to select Samsung phones as well. The feature works with iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks, but only on a limited set of compatible devices so far. 9to5google.com

Google is also tied to a reported effort to buy Android app source code from Play Store developers to train its AI models. The program is described as a confidential content offer pilot that Google says is meant to improve its developer tools and products. 9to5google.com

On the Android platform side, Google appears to be building more user control into backups by letting people toggle individual data categories on or off. The change would move beyond the current all-or-nothing cloud backup approach and could let users choose what gets saved from calls, messages, settings, and apps. androidauthority.com

Security and trust issues are also part of the Google story today. Google launched fake call detection in the Phone app to help flag impersonation scams, while Android reporting points to ongoing theft-protection frustrations that leave some users still looking for stronger safeguards. gsmarena.com androidpolice.com
