One bug which needs fixing is that it closes periodically (which is really annoying if you’re listening to music through the application) but this will get sorted on the next update no doubt. While many other apps will do some of these things, none will offer all of them. The program is simple and well-built, it is free, there are no adverts and it works across multiple platforms in up to 30 languages. In spite of the many options out there, there are a number of reasons which have set Xender apart from the rest. Shareit is arguably at the top of the leaderboard, if you are just counting downloads, and Portal uses WiFi Direct (so you don’t need to be on the same local network) which has proven popular. It has gone to town on the visual experience for users, which reminds you just how clever the technology is. Although they offer a similar service at heart ( transferring files), they differ slightly when it comes to the look, functionality and user experience. Shareit, Superbeam and Portal are just a few examples of other extremely popular apps in the space. There’s a lot of competition harnessing this file sharing technology. Are there any better alternatives to Xender? The program is multiplatform too so you can send files from Android mobiles to iPhones, for example. If you want to use a PC, it works with both Windows and Mac computers. In terms of mobile phones, you can use either Windows, iOS or Android. Xender can be used across a range of platforms and devices. Is my phone or PC compatible with Xender? Your phone’s camera will then be opened through which you scan the QR found at the developer's website on your PC. Tap the plus (+) icon in the Xender app and then choose ‘Connect PC’. Make sure your mobile and the PC are on the same WiFi network. The process is similar with all mobile operating systems.Ĭonnecting mobile to PC is different but equally as easy and all operating systems follow the same steps. Next, you click on the ‘Group’ and you will be connected. From the other Android phones, tap the plus (+) icon and then ‘Join Group’. Second, open up the Xender app and tap the plus (+) icon and ‘Create Group’. First, activate your mobile hotspot and get the other mobiles (up to four devices can be synced at any one time) to connect to your hotspot. As a result, transferring apps to and from iOS devices can be tricky but everything else works the same.Īndroid to android transfers are the easiest to do. Apple has notoriously strict rules when it comes to app downloads (for better and worse). The most straightforward way is transferring from Android to Android and the only cross-platform transfer you may find problematic is with iOS. The process varies slightly depending on which operating system you are using. The Xender app can transfer files from mobile to mobile, mobile to PC and PC to mobile. The program is enabled by using a local WiFi network.
