Here's Every Android Phone Getting AirDrop Support
Quick Share is already compatible with Apple's AirDrop feature on select Android devices, but Google says the feature will expand to Samsung, OPPO, OnePlus, Vivo, Xiaomi, and HONOR devices in 2026.
Here are the devices that currently support AirDrop:
- Samsung Galaxy S26 series
- Google Pixel 10 series, 9 series, 8a
- OPPO Find X9 series, Find N6
- Vivo X300 Ultra
Google says the following devices will get AirDrop support later this year:
- Samsung Galaxy S25 series, S24 series, Z Fold7, Z Flip7, Z Fold6, Z Flip6, Z TriFold
- OPPO Find X8 series
- OnePlus 15
- HONOR Magic V6, Magic8 Pro
Google also recently revealed the Xiaomi is planning AirDrop support this year, too, but it stopped short of saying which models it will be coming to.
On Android devices that are not compatible with AirDrop, Quick Share can be used to generate a QR code that can instantly share content with iOS devices via the cloud.
The QR code sharing feature is currently rolling out to all Android devices and will be fully available within the next month. Google says it also plans to make Quick Share available in apps like WhatsApp in the near future.
