Recently, Chinese smartphone manufacturer OnePlus revealed its Android 15-based user interface, Oxygen OS 15. While the custom UI has many upgrades, a feature called “Share with iPhone” has attracted our attention. While sharing a file between two iPhones is easy (thanks to AirDrop), transferring one from an Android phone to an iPhone is, well, a nightmare.
Oxygen OS 15 Offers “Share with iPhone”
Yes, you can send/receive files from platforms like WhatsApp or Telegram (in original quality) or even use third-party file-sharing apps like AirDroid or Google Photos, but there’s no built-in option for it. This is one of the reasons for the deepening of the generation-long rivalry between Android and iOS. However, with its “Share with iPhone” feature, OnePlus is trying to change how things are.

The Feature Is Similar To Quick Share Or AirDrop
An Oxygen OS 15 feature, “Share with iPhone” will make it easier for OnePlus users to transfer files to an iPhone (and vice versa). While the feature is built into the customer user interface released by OnePlus, iPhone users must download the “O Plus Connect” app in order to use it.
As you hit the Share button on a supported OnePlus device, you’ll see the “Share with iPhone” right next to Quick Share. Once you hit the button, you’ll have to enable the feature by pressing the required toggle (it will remain on for 10 minutes at a time). Then, the feature will look for supported iPhones in range (with the O Plus Connect app installed).

Finally, you can select one and send the files. Folks over at Android Authority have got their hands on the feature. Apparently, “Share with iPhone” provides a speed similar to Quick Share, but the feature takes an additional 10 to 15 seconds to establish a peer-to-peer wireless connection for sharing files.
Moreover, the “Share with iPhone” features will increase the convenience of sharing files between the two operating systems. In fact, other manufacturers such as Samsung and Google should also adopt the feature, as it could be really helpful for both Android and iOS users.
