The Razr Fold now has improved compatibility with iPhones due to AirDrop.
I already had more reasons than I anticipated to keep the Motorola Razr Fold. During my review, the company’s first foldable truly impressed me with its quality. With a functional outer display, excellent cameras, impressive battery life, and a beautiful folding screen, I found myself wanting to make it my main phone.
Now, Motorola has added yet another incentive, which makes the phone even more appealing. The Motorola Razr Fold now features AirDrop-style sharing through Android’s Quick Share, marking it as the first Motorola device to offer this capability. This means that Razr Fold users can easily share files with Apple devices like iPhones, iPads, and Macs without the need for cloud services, messaging apps, USB connections, or the usual cross-platform complexities.

Simplifying interactions between different ecosystems
Not every Apple feature is necessary for Android users, but AirDrop has long been a particularly convenient one. It’s quick, straightforward, local, and familiar to Apple device owners. Unfortunately, Android users have traditionally needed to find workarounds. They could upload a file to Google Drive, send it via WhatsApp, compress it through a messaging app, resort to email like it's 2014, or connect a cable and feel a bit frustrated.
With Quick Share and AirDrop support, this issue is resolved. On compatible Android phones, users can share files locally through Quick Share, while the Apple device receives the file via AirDrop. This feature was first highlighted by Android Authority, which confirmed its functionality on the Razr Fold with a MacBook.

Why this matters for the Razr Fold
The Razr Fold is not an inexpensive phone. It represents Motorola’s most significant attempt at a proper book-style foldable, so it needs more than just interesting hardware to validate its role as a daily driver—and this feature genuinely contributes to that. A foldable phone is often used as a mini-tablet for tasks like photo editing, reviewing images, reading documents, multitasking, and managing work files. When transferring photos from the phone to a MacBook, sending documents to an iPad, or sharing media with an iPhone user nearby, AirDrop support makes the Razr Fold feel much more integrated with the surrounding Apple devices.
I hope this feature is rolled out to more recent Motorola models as well. Other Android brands, including Google, Samsung, OnePlus, Oppo, Honor, Vivo, and Xiaomi, already have supported devices. I was already more impressed with the Razr Fold than I expected, and now the argument for adopting it as my daily driver has become significantly stronger.
