The OnePlus 15 can now exchange files with Apple devices through Android’s Quick Share, giving it a cross-platform trick that used to be locked behind Apple’s own walls. The rollout started on June 9, needs no system update, and is already being reported by OnePlus community forum users.
On the OnePlus side, Quick Share visibility must be set to ”Everyone”; on the Apple side, AirDrop has to be switched to ”Everyone for 10 minutes” in Control Center. Once both devices are discoverable, transfers behave like a normal AirDrop exchange, with full-quality file delivery and no cloud detour in the middle.
How OnePlus 15 AirDrop support works
This is part of a broader push that began when Google first brought AirDrop interoperability to the Pixel 10 in November 2025. Since then, support has spread across a string of flagships from Samsung, OPPO, Vivo, HONOR, Xiaomi, and Google’s own newer Pixel phones. The message is pretty clear: the old wall between Android and Apple sharing is getting more holes punched through it.
- OnePlus 15 supports file sharing with iPhone, iPad, and Mac through Quick Share
- No system update is required; updating the Quick Share app is enough
- AirDrop must be set to ”Everyone for 10 minutes” on the Apple device
- Transfers go through at full quality without cloud upload
Why only the OnePlus 15 gets it for now
OnePlus was already flagged by Google as a brand set to receive support in 2026, so this isn’t a surprise drop from nowhere. But it also hints at a selective rollout: Google has not said what hardware rules decide eligibility, though chipset compatibility appears to be doing a lot of the work behind the scenes. That likely explains why older OnePlus phones, including the OnePlus 13, are still left out.
For now, the OnePlus 15 is the only OnePlus model on the list. That’s good news for buyers of the latest handset, and mildly annoying for everyone else who assumed software alone would do the job.
What OnePlus owners should expect next
The real test is whether this stays a flagship perk or starts trickling down to more devices once Google and its partners get comfortable with the implementation. If hardware really is the gatekeeper, OnePlus’s older phones may be stuck watching from the sidelines while the newer models get the better party trick.
