Coming from IPhone

[naturalguy]

I used to be hardcore android but I got frustrated with Samsung, everyone I had got laggy and buggy after a few months. The S9 was the last one I had. I then switched to the IPhone reluctantly and it works well and pretty smooth but I’ve always liked using Google for everything and the Google assistant is far, far superior to Siri. The one thing that I use A LOT is airdrop for my business. Does the Pixel or Google have something similar to transfer big files?

Is there anything else I might miss switching back? iMessage is good but not everyone has it

The Android equivalent would be Nearby Share.
There may also be third-party apps that would do it.

As for things you might miss switching back to Android -- if you spent a lot of money on apps in the Appstore, then it might be annoying to have to buy them again on the Play Store, since purchases don't carry over between platforms.

I have used Pushbullet forever to transfer things between my PC and phone (files, links) and to mirror notifications on my PC. I do not know if it has a Mac client (I presume you have a Mac due to using Airdrop).

KDEConnect is another good one if you use Linux (the Windows client is sketchy).
