Galaxy S23 owners cry foul over missing AirDrop-style sharing in One UI 8.5
Galaxy S23 owners are upset that the One UI 8.5 update removes AirDrop-style file sharing despite hardware support; Samsung hasn’t explained the decision, though workarounds like Quick Share QR codes and NearDrop exist, while the update adds other UI improvements and Galaxy AI features; the controversy has sparked discussions of planned obsolescence as the S23 still has about a year of software updates left.
