Samsung has introduced a new feature that allows Galaxy smartphone users to share files with Apple devices, bringing an AirDrop-like experience to its ecosystem.
The feature is part of an upgraded Quick Share system and is being rolled out starting with the Galaxy S26 series. It enables users to transfer photos, videos and documents wirelessly to nearby devices, including iPhones, iPads and Mac computers, without relying on third-party apps or cloud services.
To use the feature, Galaxy users need to turn on Quick Share, while Apple users must set their AirDrop visibility to “Everyone.” Once both devices are discoverable, files can be sent instantly over a wireless connection, similar to Apple’s native sharing system.
For years, transferring files between Android and Apple devices has been inconvenient, often requiring messaging apps, email or cloud storage. Samsung’s latest update aims to simplify this process and improve the overall user experience.
The rollout began on March 23 in select countries and is expected to expand gradually to more regions. Samsung is also likely to extend the feature to older Galaxy devices through future software updates.
The new feature reflects a broader push in the tech industry toward better cross-platform compatibility. By enabling smoother interaction between Android and iOS devices, Samsung is addressing a long-standing gap in connectivity.
