The Quick Share update is being released in Korea, with other regions to follow soon. Samsung is introducing AirDrop support to the Quick Share feature on Galaxy devices, starting with the S26 series. According to Samsung, the new AirDrop feature is rolling out in Korea today, with US devices expected to receive the update later this week. It will be available in more regions and on more Galaxy devices “at a later date,” including other parts of North America, Latin America, Europe, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan.
This update allows Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra users to easily share files with Apple devices through a fast wireless connection. Samsung becomes the second Android brand to offer native AirDrop support after Google developed an Android solution last year without Apple’s collaboration. Support was introduced to the Pixel 10 series in November 2025, and later to the Pixel 9 series in February.
AirDrop support on Galaxy devices is not enabled by default. Users can activate the feature through the Settings menu by selecting Connected devices > Quick Share > Share with Apple devices. A toggle to enable AirDrop will appear, along with information indicating that both Apple and Samsung devices need to have sharing settings set to “Everyone” mode for file transfers between them.
