Google broke through the walled garden and added AirDrop compatibility to Quick Share on the latest Google Pixel 10 series last year. It made clear that AirDrop support would expand to other Android phones looking ahead, and sure enough, the Galaxy S26 series became the first non-Google phones to get the Quick Share upgrade last week. The timeline for other Samsung phones receiving the Quick Share upgrade and AirDrop compatibility is unclear, but a discovery by\u00a0GalaxyClub sheds some light on which models are next in line.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Multiple app updates and extensions must be installed for an Android phone to gain AirDrop compatibility. The big one is the Quick Share extension version 1.0.874307641 (or newer), which Google created from scratch to enable AirDrop file sharing. You will also need Quick Share version 13.8.51.58, Quick Share Agent\u00a0 version 3.5.22.24, and Quick Share Connectivity version 1.5.13.15 (or newer).\u00a0GalaxyClub\u00a0revealed that sideloading the necessary apps and extensions on unsupported phones hints at which will gain AirDrop compatibility looking ahead.<\/p>\n

Specifically, sideloading the prerequisite applications on certain older and officially unsupported Galaxy phones unlocks a \u201cShare with Apple devices\u201d menu. This is the same screen that enables AirDrop functionality on the Samsung Galaxy S26 series. So, it\u2019s reasonable to surmise that any phone displaying the \u201cShare with Apple devices\u201d page after sideloading the required apps will get AirDrop support eventually.<\/p>\n

as reported by\u00a0Galaxy Club, this menu appears on the Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S24 series, and Galaxy S25 series. It also becomes visible on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, as well as the Galaxy A35, Galaxy A55, and Galaxy A56. This is notable, because the just-announced Galaxy A37 5G and Galaxy A57 5G lack AirDrop compatibility at launch despite running One UI 8.5. It\u2019s our first hint that AirDrop compatibility will eventually make its way to budget Galaxy A series phones.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth pointing out that, even after sideloading the required Quick Share apps and extensions, AirDrop compatibility doesn\u2019t work on Samsung phones outside of the Galaxy S26 series. Officially, Samsung has committed to bringing AirDrop to other Galaxy models \u201cat a later date,\u201d but other details are unknown.<\/p>\n
