AirDrop "Emulator" for Android?

[Vlad2000Andrei]

The title pretty much says it. I've searched the internet high and low for something that would allow me to send a file from my OnePlus 6 to an iPhone as seamlessly as possible. Most of my friends use iPhones and I've been looking for a way to be able to send files to them without having each and every one of them install an app. I know about Zapya and SHAREit, but that would mean every person I want to send something to having to install that app. Whatsapp butchers image quality for photos and email is just clunky and pretty impractical for large transfers.

 

What I'm looking for is (and I am not sure if this is possible, given Apple's closed ecosystem) some app that would let me share a file so that it would appear to the iPhone user as an AirDrop share. Having it work the other way around (emulating AirDrop in a way that would let iPhone users send files to me through AirDrop) would be a nice bonus, but not a necessity). 

 

Are any of you guys aware of an app that does this? I don't need it to be pretty, I just need it to do the job.

 

Thanks in advance,

Vlad

Not an option, I'm afraid... I've looked.  You could use a cloud service like Google Drive or Dropbox to share, but again, that'd need an app (albeit one your friends are more likely to have).

 

And I think this really illustrates why iPhone users stick to the platform.  When everyone in a group is using an iPhone, certain things are just a lot easier.  They probably wish they could talk to you using iMessage, too.
