Nearby attackers can crash AirDrop and Quick Share, researchers warn

Researchers disclosed six local flaws in AirDrop and Quick Share that let nearby attackers crash the receiving devices or bypass session checks. Apple and Google have begun patching these flaws (Apple has assigned a CVE; Google fixed the Windows Quick Share bug; Samsung’s issues are under investigation). The exploits are local (about 10–30 meters or on the same LAN) and affect macOS/iOS, Samsung Quick Share, and Windows Quick Share. Users should update to the latest OS and adjust AirDrop to Contacts Only or disable Everyone, and limit Quick Share visibility when not actively receiving.

Google Expands Quick Share to More Android Phones, Brings AirDrop-Style Interop with iPhone

Google is expanding its Quick Share feature to a wider range of Android devices (including Samsung Galaxy S26/S25/S24 lines and Pixel 10/9/8a) and enabling AirDrop‑like file transfers with iPhones, iPads, and Macs. On Android, enable 'Share with Apple devices'; on iPhone, set AirDrop to 'Everyone for 10 minutes'. Non‑compatible Androids can also share via a cloud-backed QR code. Google also plans to broaden support to devices like Motorola Razr Fold 2026, OPPO Find X8 series, and HONOR Magic8 Pro soon; Quick Share debuted in November 2025.

Galaxy S23 update omits AirDrop-style sharing, sparking user backlash

Samsung’s Galaxy S23 series received One UI 8.5, but notably lacked AirDrop-style file sharing, prompting backlash from owners who expected the feature. Some discussions suggest the hardware could technically support AirDrop, but backporting would require effort from Samsung and Google, which seems unlikely given device-support policies. With the S23 line still slated for major updates, fans are frustrated at missing a key feature that newer Galaxy models reportedly include.

Google Expands Android–iPhone File Sharing With QR Transfer and Broader AirDrop Support

Google announced expanded cross‑platform file sharing: Quick Share will soon work with AirDrop on more Android devices (Samsung, OPPO, OnePlus, Vivo, Xiaomi, HONOR) in 2026, and for Android devices that don’t support AirDrop it will generate a QR code to share content with iOS via the cloud. The QR sharing feature starts rolling out today and should be fully available within a month, with plans to bring Quick Share to apps like WhatsApp soon. Google also collaborated with Apple to ease switching from iPhone to Android under Europe’s Digital Markets Act, enabling wireless transfer of eSIM, passwords, photos, messages, apps, contacts, and Home Screen layout; similar tools for Android→iPhone are already in place and will expand.
