While this feature allows for quick and easy file transfers between Galaxy phones and iPhones, users have noticed a small problem.

Documents, photos, and other things have metadata that tells you things like file size, creation date, and more. When sending a file via Quick Share, this data should be transferred with it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_P\">\n<p>However, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/r1.community.samsung.com\/t5\/%EA%B0%A4%EB%9F%AD%EC%8B%9C-s\/%ED%80%B5%EC%89%90%EC%96%B4-%EC%9C%84%EC%B9%98%EC%A0%95%EB%B3%B4-%EB%A0%8C%EC%A6%88%EC%A0%95%EB%B3%B4-%EC%95%88%EB%9C%A8%EB%8A%94-%EC%9D%B4%EC%8A%88\/m-p\/37548271#M1512304\">lord of the galaxy<\/a> (via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mojotrick.com\/2026\/04\/14\/samsung-promises-software-update-to-fix-quick-share-airdrop-glitch\/\"><em>mojo trick<\/em><\/a>) have noticed that after sending a file to an iPhone some of this information is missing, especially location and camera lens data. The problem appears to be even worse with video, where hardly any metadata is kept, except for a few details like resolution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_P\">\n<p>On the Korean Samsung community site, a moderator has confirmed that there is an issue when sharing files with iPhones. The moderator also confirms that the Quick Share team is aware of the bug and are working on a fix.
