OPPO has brought a big update for its OPPO Find X9 series users in India. The phones now support AirDrop-like sharing with iPhones and other Apple devices through Quick Share. This means you can send photos, videos, and files directly from your OPPO Find X9 or Find X9 Pro to an iPhone, iPad, or Mac without any extra apps.
The feature came after OPPO worked with Google and MediaTek. It rolled out via a software update in March 2026. Before this, sharing between Android and Apple needed third-party apps or slow methods like Bluetooth.
This is part of Google’s push to make Quick Share work like AirDrop across more Android phones. OPPO Find X9 is the first non-Pixel series to get it in India. Users just need to turn on Quick Share and have AirDrop ready on Apple side. Now, file transfers happen fast and secure over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. No cables or data needed. This helps mixed device users in homes and offices. The Find X9 series, with models like Find X9, Pro, and coming Ultra, leads this change in India.
How Direct Sharing Works Between OPPO and Apple Devices
Direct sharing between OPPO Find X9 and Apple devices uses Quick Share for AirDrop compatibility. You open a file on your OPPO phone, like a photo in the gallery. Tap share, and Quick Share scans for nearby Apple devices with AirDrop on.
It works over Bluetooth for finding devices and Wi-Fi for fast transfer. No internet needed. Security comes from one-time codes or contact checks, like AirDrop’s options for everyone, contacts only, or off. The file goes straight to the Apple device’s Downloads or Photos app. On iPhone, accept the share, and it’s done in seconds.

OPPO’s earlier O+ Connect system was different. It needed an app on iPhone from the App Store. O+ Connect let OPPO, OnePlus, and Realme users share files to iPhone or Mac. You went to Settings on OPPO, turned on “Share with iPhone or PC,” and scanned for devices on the same Wi-Fi. It had a 10-minute window to connect. Files transferred in real-time, but only one way mostly from Android to iOS.
O+ Connect worked on older Android like 8.1 Oreo. It synced calls and messages too, if set up. But it required the app install on Apple side, which was a step. Quick Share skips that. No app download now just update your OPPO phone.
With Quick Share, setup is simple. On Find X9, go to Settings > Quick Share, set visibility to Contacts or Everyone. On iPhone, turn on AirDrop to the same setting. Devices must be close, under 10 meters usually. Transfers support photos, videos, docs up to hundreds of MB fast. Google tested it smooth with iOS, iPadOS, macOS.
Compared to O+ Connect, Quick Share is native. O+ Connect was OPPO’s bridge but limited to their brands. Quick Share is Google’s standard, now open to OPPO. It uses end-to-end encryption like AirDrop. For India users, this means easy shares at family events or work. No more email or WhatsApp workarounds. OPPO says the update hits Find X9 and Pro first, more models soon.
If issues come, check Bluetooth/Wi-Fi on, devices updated. OPPO support pages guide troubleshooting. This upgrade makes OPPO Find X9 a strong pick for Apple friends.
