Google took the smartphone world by storm last November when it unlocked AirDrop support for the Pixel 10 lineup. Not only was this development surprising because we didn’t really see it coming, but also because Google did it all alone, without any cooperation from Apple.
Google soon confirmed that the functionality will eventually land on all Android devices. The ambitious undertaking has manifested first in the Pixel 9 series, and it has now expanded to the Galaxy S26 line.
Samsung announced the rollout over the weekend, and although it was limited to users in Korea at first, AirDrop support is now starting to show up in other regions too.

Once available and installed, users will need to enable the feature by heading to Settings > Connected Devices > Quick Share > Share with Apple devices.
