  • A teardown of the latest Google Play Services app has revealed evidence that Google is still working on Quick Share for iPhones.
  • We were also able to view a screen confirming that you need to sign in to share with iPhones.
  • This comes almost a year after we first learned Google might be working on Quick Share for iOS and MacOS.

We cracked open the latest version of Google Play Services (version 25.34.31 beta) and discovered a string confirming Quick Share for iPhones. The string shares the same name as another string, which asks users to sign in to share files. Check them out below.
