More Samsung phones get AirDrop support, but there's a catch
SamMobile • • technology
Key Points:
- Samsung has extended Quick Share's AirDrop support, initially launched on the Galaxy S26 series, to older devices including the Galaxy S22, S23, S24, S25, and Z Fold 7 through updates to Quick Share and its modules.
- Despite the updates, many users report that the "Share with Apple devices" feature is either not visible or non-functional, with Apple devices not appearing in the sharing menus on Samsung phones and vice versa.
- Some users managed to access the feature after updating their device firmware along with Google Play System and Google Play Services, suggesting multiple factors influence availability.
- The rollout appears to involve a server-side activation in addition to app updates, but full functionality has yet to be achieved, indicating that Samsung may release further updates to enable proper operation soon.
