That means it can transfer photo, video, and files to Apple devices natively, without needing a new app or other workarounds.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"limited-rollout-xiaomi-17t-pro-is-the-sole-device-with-airdrop-support-initially\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">Limited rollout: Xiaomi 17T Pro is the sole device with AirDrop support initially<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">There is one catch: in the very fine print at the bottom of Xiaomi\u2019s video, it says the feature is only available on the Xiaomi 17T Pro for now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">To use the feature, turn on AirDrop on your Apple device (iPhone, iPad), and start sharing the file from your Xiaomi\u2019s Quick Share menu. If everything goes correctly, the Apple device will appear as an option for transferring your Xiaomi files. If it\u2019s not available, remember to update the firmware on your Xiaomi 17T Pro first.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">To be clear, Xiaomi isn\u2019t the first after Google to include AirDrop compatibility with Quick Share. The latest devices from major brands like Samsung (Galaxy S26 series), OPPO (Find X9 series, Find N6), and Vivo (X300 Ultra) can all do it, but the inclusion of Xiaomi practically rounds off major Android phone brands with a strong presence in Singapore (stats, <u>per our Readers\u2019 Choice poll<\/u>). As with Xiaomi, the feature is limited to specific devices for each brand, so it\u2019s not an Android-wide rollout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Source: <u>Xiaomi (X)<\/u><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/mobile\/smartphones\/xiaomi-17t-pro-apple-airdrop-file-transfer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in November 2025, Android announced that its Quick Share function is compatible with Apple\u2019s photo and file transfer protocol, AirDrop.\u00a0 The first Android handset&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":57471,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[10677,156,10129,23992,223],"class_list":["post-57470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-airdrop","tag-apple","tag-device","tag-hyperos","tag-xiaomi","wpcat-32-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=57470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57470\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/57471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=57470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=57470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=57470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
