OPPO to Add AirDrop Compatibility to Find X9 via Android Quick Share This Month

Google’s peer‑to‑peer Quick Share built with MediaTek underpins the feature, with independent validation of its security.

Overview

  • OPPO says a software update beginning in March will enable Quick Share–AirDrop interoperability on the Find X9 and Find X9 Pro.
  • Once enabled, users can send files directly between OPPO phones and devices running iOS, iPadOS, or macOS without installing third‑party apps.
  • OPPO states the capability was developed in collaboration with Google and MediaTek, marking the first confirmed rollout timeline from a non‑Google Android brand.
  • Google reports the implementation uses a direct peer‑to‑peer link that does not route data through servers and was assessed as secure by third‑party firm NetSPI; discovery on Apple devices relies on AirDrop’s “Everyone for 10 minutes” mode.
  • Reports suggest Samsung is preparing similar support for the Galaxy S26 series, though that expansion remains unconfirmed.
