Quick Share: Samsung brings cross-platform AirDrop feature support for the Galaxy S26 series and iPhones

Last year in November, Google surprised everyone with the launch of new AirDrop-like QuickShare, a cross-platform wireless data transfer feature for Pixel phones with iPhones. But it was not available for non-Pixel Android phones.

Early this year in February, Google promised that it would expand the feature to non-Pixel phones soon.

Now, within a month after announcement, Google's close ally Samsung has announced the cross-platform QuickShare feature support for its Galaxy S series devices with the iPhones.

Here's how to transfer files wirelessly between a Samsung phone and an iPhone

Starting today, the AirDrop-Quick Share feature is rolling out in Korea and expanding to more regions, including Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, Latin America, North America, Southeast Asia, and Taiwan.

AirDrop support will initially be available on the Galaxy S26 series, with expansion to additional devices to be announced at a later date.

Besides Samsung handsets, other Android phones are expected to get the cross-platform AirDrop-Quick Share feature in the coming months.
