The Galaxy S26 series will begin receiving AirDrop support via Quick Share starting March 23, with a rollout in South Korea followed by the United States later that week. Samsung's new feature allows seamless file sharing with Apple devices, a capability that previously launched on Google Pixel 10 models in late 2025 and has expanded to the Pixel 9 series recently.
This rollout includes additional regions such as Europe, Japan, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Notably, AirDrop functionality on Samsung devices is not activated by default; users must adjust settings under Quick Share to enable sharing with Apple devices. Users are advised to ensure that the "Everyone" mode is enabled on both the Galaxy and iPhone to facilitate file transfers.
Moreover, Samsung indicated that more Galaxy devices will gain this feature in the future, although a specific timeline has not been provided. Oppo has also announced plans to implement similar AirDrop capabilities on its devices by the end of March, suggesting a broader integration of this feature within the Android ecosystem.
