Overview
- The OnePlus 15, which began receiving the feature Tuesday, can now send files directly to iPhones, iPads, and Macs by using Google’s Quick Share with Apple’s AirDrop.
- Users do not need a OnePlus system update in most cases but must update the Quick Share app and temporarily set receiving Apple devices to AirDrop’s “Everyone” visibility to complete transfers.
- Reports from multiple outlets and OnePlus forum posts say the rollout is device‑limited and appears active on the OnePlus 15 only, with no firm word on older OnePlus models gaining the feature.
- Deployment is being handled quietly through server‑side activations and Play System or Quick Share updates for supported phones, and some older or hardware‑limited models will fall back to QR or cloud sharing.
- Google first enabled AirDrop interoperability on Pixel phones in late 2025 and has since worked with Samsung, Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi and other OEMs to widen cross‑platform sharing, a move that eases daily file exchange in iPhone‑heavy markets.
