Quick Share AirDrop Support
Quick Share now supports an AirDrop‑style sharing method, originally introduced on the Galaxy S26. This allows seamless file transfers between Galaxy devices and iPhones, and the final implementation is expected to ship with the upcoming One UI 8.5 update for the S25 series.
