OnePlus 15 Gains AirDrop Support via Quick Share as Rollout Reaches U.S.-Sold Android Flagship

3 articles · Updated · 9to5Google · Jun 9

Summary

  • OnePlus 15 owners are now seeing AirDrop compatibility arrive through Android Quick Share, with reports surfacing on OnePlus forums and Android Authority confirming the feature on a device.
  • Google had already said the OnePlus 15 would join Android phones that can share with iPhone and Mac users, and the feature now appears to be going live rather than remaining a planned addition.
  • The update matters most in the U.S., where the OnePlus 15 is actively sold and Apple’s iPhone ecosystem makes AirDrop a common file-sharing standard.
  • Support on other Android phones has largely arrived through server-side changes, and it remains unclear whether OnePlus 15 users need a specific software update to enable it.
  • The rollout extends a broader push that has already brought AirDrop-over-Quick Share support to Pixel, Galaxy and some other Android devices, with Oppo and Vivo models also joining.
