Google cracked the code on making Android’s Quick Share feature work with Apple’s AirDrop, and the list of compatible devices continues to grow. Here’s every Android device currently compatible with AirDrop.
In November 2025, Google surprise-launched support for AirDrop through Quick Share on the Pixel 10 series. The feature was built without Apple’s insight, and works across iPhones, iPads, and even MacBooks. As of the past couple of months, it’s expanding, with Pixel 9 series devices added in February, and Samsung models adding support in March and April.
To get things going, both parties will need to switch their devices to “Everyone” mode, as contact sharing doesn’t work across platforms. Once the receipient has done this, though, their device should immediately show up to nearby Android phones looking to share a file, photo, video, or whatever else.
The process is pretty seamless from there, working just as you’d expect AirDrop or Quick Share to work in the first place.
On Pixel devices, AirDrop is enabled always, but Samsung does add a toggle to make the feature optional.
As mentioned, though, this is all device-dependent for the time being. You’ll need to wait for your Android device to be compatible with AirDrop, as only a select few are at this point in time. There are some Android devices that have built AirDrop-like solutions as a stopgap, but those aren’t the same thing as this.
The list below details each Android device that works with AirDrop over Quick Share, and we’ll be updating it as more are added.

When will my Android phone get AirDrop support?
Google has, so far, been rolling out AirDrop support to Android devices on a model-by-model basis. That’s why older Pixel phones aren’t yet supported, and why Samsung also has a limited list of supported models.
It’s confirmed that, next in line, will be the following devices:
- Motorola razr fold 2026
- Oppo Find X8 series
- Honor Magic 8 Pro
Google hasn’t detailed the exact requirements for hardware for AirDrop to be supported, but the going theory is that support varies by chipset, with a tweak needed to support “Apple Wireless Direct Link,” something simply not supported by every Android device.
We’ll be updating this list as more devices are added, so check back!
