OnePlus 15 users can now share files with iPhones, iPads, and Macs through Android’s Quick Share. The feature, which taps into Apple’s AirDrop protocol, started rolling out on June 9 and has been confirmed by users on OnePlus community forums.
No system update is needed. The change arrives through the Quick Share app itself, so updating it via the Play Store is enough to get started.
How AirDrop works in OnePlus 15
To use it, the OnePlus 15 user sets Quick Share visibility to “Everyone,” while the iPhone user sets AirDrop to “Everyone for 10 minutes” from the Control Center. After that, the two devices see each other, and the transfer works much like a standard AirDrop exchange. Files go through at full quality, with no cloud intermediary involved.
As we covered recently, the OnePlus 15 joins a list that has been building since Google first launched AirDrop interoperability on the Pixel 10 in November 2025. Since then, the Pixel 9 series, Samsung Galaxy S24, S25, and S26, OPPO Find X8 and X9 series, Vivo X300 Ultra, HONOR Magic V6, and Xiaomi 17T Pro have all received the feature.
OnePlus was already named by Google earlier this year as one of the brands set to receive support in 2026, so this rollout was expected.
The OnePlus 15, launched globally in November 2025, runs OxygenOS 16 on Android 16 and is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip. Google has not publicly explained what hardware criteria determine AirDrop eligibility, but chipset compatibility is widely believed to play a role, which may explain why the update is not extending to older OnePlus models for now.
For now, the OnePlus 15 is the only OnePlus device on the list. Older models like the OnePlus 13 are not included, and the company has not said whether support will extend to them.
