Samsung<\/a> has recently reportedly confirmed that its latest flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S26 range, will soon support direct file sharing with Apple products<\/a>. During a recent press conference in Japan, a top Samsung executive confirmed the news. The brand will release AirDrop compatibility via Google\u2019s Quick Share framework, with file transfer support, officially heading to the Galaxy S26 <\/a>series.<\/p>\n

How the Galaxy S26\u2019s AirDrop file transfer support will arrive and work<\/p>\n

Samsung mobile division chief Won-joon Choi said that the AirDropwill roll out sequentially through upcoming firmware updates<\/a>. While the brand has not provided an exact launch date, industry experts expect the integration to arrive alongside the much-awaited One UI 8.5 update. Once activated, Samsung Galaxy S26 series<\/a> users will be able to locate nearby iPhones, iPads, and Mac devices directly within their standard Quick Share menu.<\/p>\n

To transfer files using AirDrop, you must set the receiving Apple device\u2019s AirDrop settings to allow everyone. The Galaxy S26 phones<\/a> will then spot the Apple device nearby and transmit photos, videos, or large documents exactly as they would to another Samsung smartphone or tablet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This works because Google introduced a new feature late last year with its Pixel 10 phones that finally made two separate file-sharing systems work together.<\/p>\n

The functionality will eventually make it to older Galaxy products<\/p>\n

After the Galaxy S26 range<\/a>, Samsung will likely expand the AirDrop-like functionality to older smartphones and tablets over time. Millions of existing users with last-generation Galaxy products could eventually gain this feature as the software updates progress. This move follows a broader industry trend toward breaking down platform barriers.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth adding that other major Android manufacturers, including Oppo, have also recently announced their own plans to integrate this same cross-platform sharing technology within the month.<\/p>\n
