Now, it\u2019s already expanding to more Galaxy smartphones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Samsung today confirmed that AirDrop over Quick Share is expanding to 10 more new Galaxy smartphones this week, including Samsung\u2019s 2025 and 2024 flagships. That\u2019s wider support than even Google has released on its Pixel devices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">The Galaxy S25 FE and Galaxy S24 FE may or may not be included, but Samsung hasn\u2019t confirmed as much just yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">The catch? You\u2019ll have to install the One UI 8.5 beta. This has been made widely available at this point with signups available via the Samsung Members app, but beta programs also carry the risk of bugs, apps that don\u2019t work properly, and other concerns. That said, if you\u2019re absolutely dying to get your hands on AirDrop support, installing the update shouldn\u2019t be much of an issue.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"anp-pro-aside\" aria-label=\"context\">\n<p class=\"anp-pro-kicker\">Why it matters<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">News like this often changes audience expectations and competitors\u2019 plans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">When one player makes a move, others usually react \u2014 it is worth reading the event in context.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<aside class=\"anp-pro-aside\" aria-label=\"outlook\">\n<p class=\"anp-pro-kicker\">What to look out for next<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">The full picture will become clear in time, but the headline already shows the dynamics of the industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Further statements and user reactions will add to the story.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The topic Samsung is expanding AirDrop to these Galaxy devices, but only if you install an\u2026 &hellip; <a title=\"Samsung is expanding AirDrop to these Galaxy devices, but only if you install an\u2026\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/innovatenews.site\/index.php\/2026\/04\/09\/samsung-is-expanding-airdrop-to-these-galaxy-devices-but-only-if-you-install-an\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Samsung is expanding AirDrop to these Galaxy devices, but only if you install an\u2026<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":2829,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[269,268,782,205,92],"class_list":["post-2828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-innovate","tag-airdrop","tag-devices","tag-expanding","tag-galaxy","tag-samsung"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
