OPPO Find X9 Ultra to get Apple AirDrop support with Quick Share: Report

OPPO may add AirDrop-like support to Quick Share on Find X9 Ultra, enabling direct file sharing between Android and Apple devices without third-party apps

OPPO has reportedly confirmed that its upcoming flagship smartphone, the Find X9 Ultra, which launches on April 21, will get Apple AirDrop support with Android Quick Share. According to a report by 9To5Google, OPPO has said that it is collaborating with Google to enable Quick Share compatibility with Apple devices for the Find X9 Ultra, enabling it to share files, photos and videos wirelessly with Apple devices such as iPhones, Macs and iPads.

OPPO Find X9 Ultra: AirDrop support

OPPO currently offers wireless file sharing support with Apple devices using the O+ Connect app; however, the report stated that OPPO has confirmed that the new feature will not require any additional app support. This suggests that cross-platform file sharing on the OPPO Find X9 Ultra will work similarly to how the feature works on supported Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy smartphones.

 

 

For the uninitiated, Quick Share-AirDrop compatibility rolled out to the Google Pixel 10 series earlier this year and was later expanded to the Pixel 9 series and the Samsung Galaxy S26 series.

 

Google had previously explained how this system works. According to the company, “This feature does not use a workaround; the connection is direct and peer-to-peer, meaning your data is never routed through a server, shared content is never logged, and no extra data is shared.” 

 

To use the feature, the Apple user needs to set the AirDrop setting to “Everyone for 10 minutes” on their iPhone, iPad or Mac. From an Android device, users can open Quick Share, select a nearby Apple device and send files. The receiving user must approve the transfer before it begins. The system uses a combination of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to establish a direct connection between devices.

 

While OPPO has reportedly confirmed support for the feature on Find X9 Ultra, it remains to be seen if it will also roll out to other flagship smartphones from OPPO, such as the Find X9 Pro and Find X9, as well as the Find N6.
