Samsung is preparing One UI 8.5 Beta 9 for the Galaxy S25 series, and it’s going to be big enough, thanks to the potential AirDrop inclusion.

After Google, Samsung brought AirDrop support to Android’s Quick Share. The sharing utility application has gained the ability to transfer files between Android and Apple software versions, such as iOS, iPadOS and macOS.

Samsung rolled out AirDrop support to the Galaxy S26 series. Now, it looks like the Galaxy S25 series will receive AirDrop as part of One UI 8.5 Beta 9 update. The latest Beta build, though internal, carries this feature, via Alfaturk.

Recently, it was reported that the 9th Beta could arrive in the second week of April. The exact date could be April 9, but it’s not officially confirmed. There will be another Beta afterwards, which would arrive as the 10th Beta.

Samsung’s AirDrop update makes it easier to share and receive files across One UI and iOS. Galaxy users can easily transfer and receive files. It doesn’t require the installation of any application on both sides, making it a big deal.
