Android\u2019s Quick Share function is rolling out a wave of compatibility updates so users can send and receive files and contacts over AirDrop. Xiaomi joins Google and Samsung with support for Apple\u2019s AirDrop.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Xiaomi has officially updated Quick Share with support for AirDrop. The company took to Twittter\/X to announce the availability in HyperOS3, Xiaomi\u2019s own version of Android 16. The post specifically references the Xiaomi 17T Pro, though it\u2019s possible other devices on HyperOS3 will see the update soon. There are hardware-level restrictions that could prevent that.<\/p>\n

Android 16 brought a few changes, but adding AirDrop support to Quick Share might be the most groundbreaking. Calling it that might be counterintuitive, but it\u2019s been a bane of Android\u2019s existence for some time, setting a roadblock between users who want to share files and other data over a faster Bluetooth connection.<\/p>\n

Quick Share on devices from Xiaomi and other Android manufacturers makes AirDrop sharing possible, with the condition that iPhone users set their visibility to \u201ceveryone for 10 minutes. The setting allows Quick Share to identify and finish a handoff with iOS devices. It doesn\u2019t matter if the other user is in your contacts; the only way this system works is with that one setting.<\/p>\n

The AirDrop workaround Xiaomi added has already hit Samsung and Google devices, with plans to bring the update to more phones on the way. Xiaomi was on that list, and it didn\u2019t take very long at all since the announcement in December. The Oppo Find X9 Ultra and Vivo X300 Ultra are two other devices with recently added support.<\/p>\n
