Do you have a friend, family member, or colleague who won’t give up their iPhone? It makes sharing files challenging; the only options are to use e-mail, instant messaging, or a cloud storage site for larger or multiple files.<\/p>\n

OnePlus has its Share with iPhone tool in the O+ Connect app, which works wonderfully, though it requires opening the app first on the receiving device. Google added AirDrop to its Pixel 10 series, confirming last month that it would be coming to more devices in the line as well. Now, Samsung is joining, too.<\/p>\n

What does this mean? Thanks to the latest update to Quick Share, Samsung Galaxy S26 devices have added AirDrop support to make sharing with iPhones even easier. AirDrop on Galaxy S26 launched on March 23, 2026, in Korea and has since been expanding to other regions, including the U.S. and Canada, where I reside.<\/p>\n
