Google is expanding AirDrop compatibility to more Android phones this month. Here's every device confirmed for June, and what this means for Android-iPhone file sharing going forward.
One of the most persistent frustrations in mixed iPhone Android groups is file sharing. AirDrop works flawlessly between Apple devices, but Android users have always been on the outside of that experience relying on workarounds, third-party apps, or just asking someone to text them the photo. That friction is now being systematically removed, and June 2026 is when a significant new batch of Android devices joins the compatible list.
What Google Announced
Google confirmed in its latest Android Drop blog post that Quick Share now works directly with AirDrop on more Android devices, making file sharing between Android and iPhone smoother than ever with or without an internet connection.
The announcement is part of a broader push Google has been building since earlier this year, when it first revealed plans to bring Quick Share and AirDrop integration to a wider range of Android hardware. The June rollout is the next chapter of that expansion.
Full List of Android Phones Getting AirDrop Support in June 2026
Google published the confirmed device list on its Quick Share website ahead of the Android Drop announcement. Here's every phone getting AirDrop compatibility this month:
Samsung
- Galaxy S25 series
- Galaxy S24 series
- Galaxy Z Flip 7
- Galaxy Z Fold 7
- Galaxy Z Flip 6
- Galaxy Z Fold 6
- Galaxy Z TriFold
OPPO
- Find X8 series
OnePlus
- OnePlus 15
HONOR
- HONOR Magic V6
- HONOR Magic 8 Pro
It's worth noting that Samsung had already rolled out AirDrop support to some of these devices including the Galaxy S25 series and select foldables ahead of the official June announcement. For users on those phones, the feature may already be available. For others on the list, the update arrives this month.
Devices That Already Had AirDrop Support
The June additions join an existing group of Android phones that gained AirDrop compatibility earlier in 2026. Those already-supported devices include:
- Google Pixel 10 series
- Google Pixel 9 series
- Google Pixel 8a
- Samsung Galaxy S26 series
- OPPO Find X9 series
- OPPO Find N6
- vivo X300 Ultra
Taken together, the list now covers the flagship tier of virtually every major Android brand Google, Samsung, OPPO, OnePlus, HONOR, and vivo. The gap between iPhone and Android file sharing at the premium end of the market has effectively closed.
Works With or Without an Internet Connection
One detail worth highlighting from Google's own announcement: Quick Share's AirDrop integration works with or without an internet connection. This makes it genuinely useful in situations where connectivity is limited on a plane, at a venue with poor signal, or anywhere else Wi-Fi and mobile data aren't reliable.
That's a practical advantage over some cloud-reliant sharing solutions, and it brings the experience closer to how AirDrop natively works between Apple devices.
Quick Share Is Also Coming to Third-Party Apps
The June device expansion isn't the only Quick Share news this month. A few weeks ago, Google confirmed that Quick Share is coming to third-party apps as well, with WhatsApp as the first integration. This means that even on Android phones that don't yet have native AirDrop support, users will have an alternative path for sharing files with iPhone users directly through WhatsApp without switching apps or copying files manually.
Google has framed this third-party integration as a bridge for devices that haven't yet received AirDrop compatibility, while the broader native rollout continues across more hardware.
What's Still Missing
The one honest gap in all of this is coverage for older and mid-range devices. Every phone on the confirmed list both the June additions and those already supported sits at the upper end of the market. Budget and mid-range Android phones, which represent the majority of Android's global user base, haven't been addressed yet.
Google hasn't announced a timeline for bringing Quick Share AirDrop support to less expensive or older hardware. For now, the WhatsApp integration offers a partial workaround for those users, but a native solution on broader device categories is the logical next step.
June 2026 is a meaningful moment for Android-iPhone interoperability. With Samsung's flagship and foldable lineup, OPPO's Find X8 series, the OnePlus 15, and HONOR's top-tier devices all joining the compatible list this month, the feature has reached a point where most Android flagship users can share files directly with iPhone users without thinking twice about it.
If you're on one of the devices listed above and haven't seen the feature yet, a software update should bring it through shortly. And if you're on an older or mid-range Android phone, the WhatsApp integration is currently the most practical alternative while you wait.
