Wi-Fi connection is disconnected or drops when enabled ‘Share with Apple devices’ option while using Quick Share.

Last Update date : 2026-03-24

With improved compatibility for Apple devices, the Wi-Fi connection concept has been updated on Galaxy S26 series devices. This may cause the Wi-Fi connection(when connected to 5GHz/6GHz) temporarily to disconnect while using Quick Share, leading to intermittent drops.

If ‘Share with Apple devices’ is enabled:

1 Entering Quick Share send mode disconnects the 5GHz/6GHz Wi-Fi connection.
2 If there are devices searching for AirDrop nearby, when entering temporary receiving mode or setting ‘Everyone (10 minutes only)’, the 5GHz/6GHz Wi-Fi connection will be disconnected.

To maintain the previous user experience, disable ‘Share with Apple devices’ : Settings > Connected devices > Quick Share > Turn OFF ‘Share with Apple devices.
