Oppo has a launch event scheduled in the coming days for the launch of the Find X9 Ultra. The device will debut with many features, including support for AirDrop. According to the company, they have collaborated with Google to bring the feature to their upcoming flagship phones. We expect more Oppo phones to get the feature in the future, but the company is currently focusing on the Find X9 Ultra.
From what we have seen from some Samsung and Pixel phones that currently support AirDrop file sharing, it works wirelessly. It can be used to share files, photos, and videos from your Android device to iPhone, iPad, and MacBook.
Meanwhile, to start sharing files with Apple devices using your OPPO phone, there are a few things that are required. First, your device has to be the Find X9 Ultra. Additionally, you need to have the latest version of the Quick Share app because that is necessary for it to work.
Apple device users need to set the AirDrop setting to “Everyone for 10 minutes” on their iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Then on your OPPO phone, head to Quick Share, select a nearby Apple device, and send a file. Of course, the other user must approve the transfer before it can start. If you are wondering how this file sharing works, it is a combination of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. These are used to establish a direct connection between the two devices.
