Overview
- Samsung began the rollout on March 23 in South Korea, with the U.S. due later this week and additional regions including Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Taiwan to follow.
- Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra can now transfer files directly with iPhones, iPads, and Macs through Quick Share’s AirDrop interoperability without third‑party apps or cloud links.
- The feature is off by default, requiring the Share with Apple devices toggle on Galaxy phones and AirDrop visibility set to Everyone or Everyone for 10 minutes on the Apple device.
- Use depends on recent software updates, including the latest firmware plus updated Google Play Services and the current Quick Share app version.
- Samsung plans to extend support to additional Galaxy devices at a later date, while other Android makers such as Oppo have signaled similar updates.
