Samsung Galaxy S26 series is getting the second software update since launch, and this one isn’t random. Samsung is rolling out AirDrop support to the Galaxy S26 phones through the latest AZCF software update.

Recently, Samsung announced AirDrop rollout to the Galaxy S26 series. The update is already available in South Korea. Regions to follow include Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, Latin America, North America, Southeast Asia, and Taiwan.

AirDrop support is a bigger upgrade than it sounds. This makes it easier for Galaxy S26 users to share files with Apple device users. There’s no need for third-party apps as Quick Share is now compatible with AirDrop.

Additionally, Galaxy S26’s second update weighs under 900 megabytes. Surprisingly, the software still lacks the latest March 2026 security patch. Hopefully, the Global users will receive AirDrop support along with the March patches.

Expect better performance and user experience after the update’s installation. Even though the OTA lacks the latest patches at core, it would have carried the necessary improvements for the Galaxy’s software system.

Don’t panic if you don’t see the AirDrop update immediately. It’s currently bound to the Korea server, and the distribution is gradual. It will be made accessible to a wider audience once Samsung ensures stability.

For now, Samsung’s AirDrop update is exclusively available for the Galaxy S26 series. Samsung will make a separate announcement on a later date. Eligible devices and the tentative release timeline remain to be known.

Samsung is finally unlocking the AirDrop feature on Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra. Starting with the latest flagship phones, cross-platform sharing compatibility will be rolled out to a range of Galaxy devices sequentially.

AirDrop support lets Galaxy S26 users share files with Apple users via Quick Share. Google first brought it to the Pixel 10 series, then expanded it to the Pixel 9. Now, Samsung is bringing the feature to its Galaxy lineup.

Before the S26 launch, a screenshot of the feature’s interface was leaked. However, the feature wasn’t actually available on the devices. Later, Samsung confirmed that AirDrop support will be available soon for the Galaxy S26 series.

In Samsung’s words, Galaxy’s AirDrop feature makes it easier for users to share content between devices using Quick Share. It resolves a long-standing file-sharing issue that Android and Apple users have faced for years.

Availability begins today, starting in South Korea. The following wave of expansion will cover more regions, including Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, Latin America, North America, Southeast Asia, and Taiwan.

Samsung just teased that more devices are eligible for this AirDrop update. The exact models and launch timeline are undisclosed. We need to wait for another Samsung announcement regarding AirDrop support for older phones.

Google made Quick Share functional with AirDrop. It was assumed that Apple could fix the loophole and break this functionality. Apple didn’t so (yet), and is likely to keep AirDrop for Androids alive to comply with regional laws.

Starting with the Galaxy S26, AirDrop compatibility is coming to Samsung phones, rolling out through software updates. Samsung’s mobile boss Choi Won-joon just confirmed it publicly at a press briefing in Japan.

AirDrop has always been the ecosystem glue that people actually feel. People stick with iPhones because their friends all tap a button for file sharing. That’s been worth more to Apple than any marketing campaign.

Google cracked this last year with the Pixel 10, letting Quick Share talk directly to AirDrop. After a brief wait, Samsung is ready to roll out AirDrop compatibility to Galaxy phones, starting with the Galaxy S26 series.

Google made this possible in November 2025, but only on Pixels at first. You set an iPhone to AirDrop Everyone mode, and the Galaxy shows up as a share target.

Going the other way, you toggle Quick Share on so Apple devices can see your Samsung phone and beam files over. Your Wi-Fi might drop briefly during the transfer because Samsung prioritizes the peer connection.

One UI 8.5 could bring it to older models that get the update. If the S24 and S23 land AirDrop support, that’s tens of millions more devices bridging the gap.

Apple hasn’t said a word about any of this. So far, the iPhone maker has stayed silent while Google punched through what looks like a loophole in how AirDrop works.

Samsung ran Smart Switch promotions hard during S26 pre-orders, telling iPhone owners they can pull over all their photos and apps wirelessly in one shot. Add AirDrop to that pitch, and the friction drops even lower.

One insider noted, “As gaps in features like file sharing narrow, the pace of switching to Galaxy could accelerate.”
