AirDrop Support Rolling Out to Samsung Galaxy S26 Devices This Week

AirDrop support is coming to Samsung's Quick Share feature on Galaxy S26 devices this week, allowing owners to directly share files and media with iPhones and Macs.

In a Sunday newsroom announcement, Samsung said the rollout is starting today in Korea, with devices in the U.S. to follow later this week. The feature will expand to more regions and on more Galaxy devices at a later date, including Canada, Latin America, Europe, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan.

Owners of Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra devices will need to enable the feature in their phone's Quick Share settings menu, using a new Share with Apple devices toggle.

Last November, Google announced Quick Share compatibility with AirDrop on Pixel phones. The feature was initially limited to the newest Pixel 10 devices, but has since been expanded to the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Surprised Apple didn't block this yet over privacy concerns
Apple will not be able to block this if the EU forced them to use an open standard for Apple devices which is why Google and Samsung are now able to integrate the AirDrop functionality that some/most android users are envious of.

There are still some Apple-exclusive features that cannot be replicated by its competition.
