US EditionSamsung's Galaxy S26 Phones Will Work With Apple's AirDrop, Much Like the Pixel 10
Samsung introduces AirDrop support via Quick Share on Galaxy S26 series to enhance cross-platform file sharing between Android and Apple devices, expanding compatibility beyond Google Pixel phones.
- Beginning in Korea on March 23, Samsung will roll out AirDrop support via Quick Share to the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra, with the US update later that week.
- A few months ago, Google pushed AirDrop support on Pixel 10 and expanded it to Pixel 9 in recent weeks, while Oppo and Honor showed similar compatibility amid poor cross-platform sharing options.
- Users must toggle the 'Share with Apple devices' setting in Quick Share, then open Quick Panel, select Connected Devices, and enable the feature; transfers use Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi and require iPhone 'Everyone' for 10 minutes.
- Samsung warns additional Galaxy devices will get AirDrop support at a later date but no timeline, improving file sharing between iOS and Android users and signaling broader Android manufacturers' adoption.
- This development positions Samsung to accelerate AirDrop adoption thanks to its market share, following Google Pixel's precedent and while Apple remains silent on the change.
