Samsung is bringing AirDrop support for the Quick Share feature to Galaxy devices, starting with the S26 series. According to Samsung, the new AirDrop feature will start rolling out in Korea starting today, with US devices seeing the option later this week. It will arrive in more regions and on more Galaxy devices “at a later date,” including the rest of North America, Latin America, Europe, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan.
This update will allow Galaxy S26, S26 Plus and S26 Ultra owners to easily share files with Apple devices over faster wireless connections. With this, Samsung is now the second Android smartphone brand to offer native AirDrop support on its devices, after last year Google developed its own Android interoperability solution for AirDrop without Apple’s involvement. That support came for the Pixel 10 series in November 2025, and later for the Pixel 9 series in February.
AirDrop support is not enabled by default on Galaxy devices. Users can activate the feature by opening the Settings menu and tapping Connected Devices > Quick Share > Share with Apple devices. A toggle to enable AirDrop will then appear, as well as informing the user that both Apple and Samsung devices need to set their sharing settings to “Everyone” mode in order to transfer files between each other.
