As most of you all know, users can’t transfer files between cross platform devices like iPhone and Android. But somehow, Xender app can do this.
Xender App – How Does it Work?
Xender app is a free app that makes use of a technology called Wi-Fi direct. This allows 2 devices that are Wi-Fi enabled to communicate directly with each other. Wi-Fi direct is a lot faster than Bluetooth (50 times faster) and it’s also the file transfer technology that Airdrop in iOS uses. There are actually two ways in which Wi-Fi direct can take place:
- Via a router: If two devices are connected through the same router, the Xender app can allow you to transfer files through the router to the other device. This procedure will not consume any internet data as you are merely using network capabilities of the router.
- Via a hotspot: This is the most common method. You do not need to be connected to a Wi-Fi router. Here, the xender app will be used to create a Wi-Fi hotspot which the receiving client will join. Then, the file can be transferred directly via Wi-Fi direct.
