How to use it

  1. Enable Wi-Fi on both devices and open Nearby transfer.
  2. Choose media and a receiving device on the sender; enter the four-digit verification code on the receiver.
  3. Keep the pages open until encrypted transfer, verification and saving finish.

Before you start

The same Wi-Fi network is not required, but trying one can help if discovery fails. Transfer currently requires the foreground and does not support resuming interrupted transfers.
