The best part of the Galaxy S25 One UI 8.5 Beta 9 update is the introduction of support for AirDrop via Quick Share. We understand the update, which introduced the feature, is now being extended to those in the US. If you are part of the beta program, you can check for the update and install it to get the AirDrop-like sharing feature.
