Knowing that Samsung plans to bring the feature to more of its smartphones, we\u2019ve been waiting for AirDrop to trickle down to older models.

It\u2019s also arriving on the last two generations of Samsung\u2019s foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6.<\/p>\n<p>Something else that\u2019s interesting about today\u2019s One UI 8.5 news is that the beta expansion will include the Galaxy A36. This marks the first time that an A-series Galaxy phone has joined the beta program.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
