For example, Google found a workaround to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/how-to-share-files-galaxy-phone-iphone-ipad-macbook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Quick Share compatible with AirDrop<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>In a similar vein, the latest Galaxy foldable phones, announced at Unpacked in London alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-one-ui-9-everything-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">One UI 9<\/a>, introduce an easier, upgraded way to transfer files and data from an iPhone or an iPad. Here&#8217;s how it works.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nEvery One UI 9 Smart Switch upgrade for iPhone users\n<\/p>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re using a wired or wireless connection no longer makes a difference in terms of what you can or can&#8217;t transfer. The wireless Smart Switch transfer process has been upgraded. iPhone and iPad users can now wirelessly transfer all the data types that were previously available only through a wired connection.\n<\/p>\n<p>To top it all off, Apple fans don&#8217;t even need to install Samsung&#8217;s Smart Switch app to transfer data from their iPhone or iPad to one of the latest Galaxy Z devices. No app install needed. It just works, and the steps are fairly straightforward:\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Launch <strong>Smart Switch<\/strong> on the Galaxy phone.<\/li>\n<li>Select <strong>Receive on this phone<\/strong>, followed by iPhone\/iPad.<\/li>\n<li>Scan the QR code with your iPhone.<\/li>\n<li>Select <strong>Transfer to Android<\/strong> on the iPhone and tap <strong>Continue<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Scan the QR code again.<\/li>\n<li>Select the data you want to transfer from your iPhone to your Galaxy phone and follow the prompts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The other huge component of this Smart Switch upgrade is that iPhone and iPad users can now transfer additional data types.\n<\/p>\n<p>Here is a list of everything you can transfer from your Apple device to the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Fold 8, or Fold 8 Ultra, even on a wireless connection.

Once again, you don&#8217;t need to download any apps on your Apple device to start the transfer process.\n<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re tempted to switch to a foldable phone this summer, it&#8217;s never been easier. And with the addition of the passport-style Fold 8 model, you&#8217;ve never had more options to choose from.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Over the past year, Samsung and Google have successfully narrowed the gap between Android and iOS through innovative&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":606545,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[257],"tags":[59527,311,5047,18,232646,116967,234326,19,988,431,17,279,183806,233148,82],"class_list":["post-606544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-android-17","tag-apple","tag-apple-iphone","tag-eire","tag-galaxy-z-flip-8","tag-galaxy-z-fold-8","tag-galaxy-z-fold-8-ultra","tag-ie","tag-ios","tag-iphone","tag-ireland","tag-mobile","tag-one-ui-9-0","tag-smart-switch","tag-technology"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116992315334304052","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=606544"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606544\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/606545"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=606544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=606544"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=606544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
