A new mandate from the EU may force Apple to open AirDrop and AirPlay, among other features, to Android and other platforms.

EU regulation has led to Apple being forced to open up iOS in ways that many never expected, but it’s not done just yet. In an effort to ensure “effective interoperability” with other platforms, the EU wants Apple to make native features of iOS being compatible with Android, including the likes of AirDrop and more.

    Everybody uses whatsapp, just share to the class group or individual. Never had to use Dropbox for anything.

      Using some server hundreds of kilometers away to send something to the person standing in front of me does not make any sense.

      What’s even more enraging is that phones used to be able to do that until the manufacturers decided to remove the ability and kept replacing it with ever changing inferior alternatives until people rather used whatsapp or dropbox.
