Google’s Pixel 10 works with AirDrop, and other phones should follow later.

    Okay, but it is a good alternative to it that works cross platform without workarounds.

    So yes it doesn’t solve that specific problem but it is a good alternative to AirDrop.

    Hopefully this workaround is allowed to continue, but we’ll see.

      Yeah, which is what I said. It’s great, but an alternative solution is an alternative solution. If someone is sharing a file to a group with Airdrop, you are not receiving it with localsend.
