Samsung has taken an important step towards interoperability between devices by announcing a new update for its Galaxy S26 series. This update allows Samsung phone users to wirelessly share files with Apple devices using AirDrop, thereby eliminating the complications that have historically existed between both ecosystems. The update, which is already being rolled out in South Korea, is available for the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra models.
The functionality is enabled through a new firmware version, named S94xNKSU1AZCF, which is over 700 MB in size. For this interaction to be possible, Galaxy users must have the latest version of Quick Share and Google Play Services 26.11 or higher installed. For Apple users, it will be necessary to adjust the AirDrop settings to ‘Everyone’; otherwise, content from Samsung devices cannot be received.
This update will not only facilitate the sending of photos and documents but also represents a significant advancement in bridging the gap between Android and iOS, as detailed in our coverage of the latest technological developments. Samsung has promised that this functionality will extend to other models in the future, which could transform the way users of both operating systems share information.
