Samsung’s Galaxy A devices can now AirDrop to iPhones after the One UI 9 update
Apple's walled garden no more
Samsung has expanded its Quick Share with AirDrop support to the Galaxy A56 and A57 devices after updating to One UI 9, according to Android Police. This feature, initially exclusive to flagship Galaxy models, allows Android users to directly share files with iPhones, iPads, and Macs using AirDrop protocols. The toggle for this feature is labeled "Share with Apple devices" and is enabled by default on the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
While the transfer speed may vary depending on the specific device, it provides a convenient way for users to bypass the long-standing walled ecosystem between Android and iOS.
