Samsung yesterday rolled out the One UI 8.5 Beta 10, which improved the metadata function of AirDrop connection.
Galaxy users have received an upgraded Quick Share, which lets them share files across Apple’s various operating systems that support AirDrop. Both sides don’t require installation of any additional apps; just a few settings need tweaking.
Samsung to AirDrop sharing works fine, but users found different issues. Recently, we’ve reproduced the issue where images and videos lack crucial metadata info, including location data, when shared from a Samsung phone.
It improved with the recent update.
Samsung’s One UI 8.5 Beta 10 partially fixed AirDrop metadata issues. Location data is now attached to photos, but is lacking for videos. Apple devices are showing location info on images received from Samsung phones.
While images automatically showcase a map preview based on the location tag, videos show an option to manually add a location. That said, Samsung’s AirDrop requires another correction to fix the location problem on videos as well.
The improvement is observed on the 10th Beta of the Galaxy S25 series. Meanwhile, the same level build was also provided to the Galaxy S24 series, S25 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6 smartphones.
Samsung also expanded various AI features from the Galaxy S26 series to existing flagships with the ZZDD Beta update. The list includes enhanced Audio Eraser, Photo Assist with text input, AI-powered Call screening and Creative Studio.
