OnePlus 15 joins the tiny Android club that can AirDrop with iPhones

The OnePlus 15 is now joining the small group of Android phones that can share files directly with Apple devices through AirDrop.

As reported by Android Authority, AirDrop support through Quick Share is now live on the OnePlus 15. The feature was also spotted in a OnePlus Community post, where a user reported that the phone could now send files to iPhones, iPads, and Macs through Apple’s sharing system. That means OnePlus 15 users should be able to send files to nearby iPhones and receive files from them without the need for any workarounds like Google Drive links, Bluetooth, or third-party file-sharing apps.

How it works on the OnePlus 15

The process still depends on Apple’s existing AirDrop visibility settings. On the iPhone side, AirDrop needs to be enabled and set to “Everyone for 10 Minutes.” On the OnePlus 15, users can open Quick Share, choose Send, select the file, and then pick the nearby iPhone when it appears in the available devices list.

The same flow also works in reverse. An iPhone user can open the share sheet, choose AirDrop, and select the OnePlus 15 if the Android device is discoverable. It is a small change in daily use, but a meaningful one for mixed Android and iPhone households.

The rollout started with Pixel

Google first announced Quick Share support for AirDrop in November 2025, starting with the Pixel 10 family. Since then, the feature has slowly expanded to more Android phones, including the Pixel 9 series, Galaxy S25 series, newer Samsung flagships, OPPO Find X9 series, Vivo X300 Ultra, and Pixel 8a.

There is still no confirmed timeline for older OnePlus phones. Google has also offered a broader Quick Share QR code method for Android-to-iPhone transfers, but direct AirDrop-style support is clearly the cleaner option.

Apple is also making AirDrop faster with iOS 27, which should improve file sharing between supported Apple devices. It is not clear yet whether Android phones using Quick Share will benefit from those speed improvements when sending files to an iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
