The appeal and strength of the iPhone is that you can understand how to use it without reading the manual. However, there are times when you think you know it but you don't understand it correctly. In this section, we will explain in an easy-to-understand manner "why the iPhone can't be heard anymore". This time, I will answer the question "I can't transfer files via Bluetooth on iPhone !?".
Although the iPhone supports Bluetooth, it does not support all of the many communication specifications (profiles) established by Bluetooth, and is limited to some such as audio output and mouse / keyboard. File transfer according to the Bluetooth standard is not supported by third-party apps as well as iOS standard apps.
File transfer in Bluetooth is defined by a profile called "FTP", but the API "Core Bluetooth", which has Bluetooth-related functions in iOS, does not support FTP, and as a result, there is no app that supports FTP. Please note that FTP here is not an Internet file transfer protocol.
If there is an iOS app that supports Bluetooth / FTP, you can transfer files to and from your Android device or computer (Windows / Mac) via Bluetooth, but for the above reasons only. Like AirDrop, Bluetooth may be used at the stage of searching for a communication partner, but since the FTP profile is not supported by Core Bluetooth, other communication methods such as Wi-Fi are used for file transfer itself. increase.
Therefore, it is not possible to transfer files directly to Android or a computer using Bluetooth / FTP, but you can also use an app that utilizes other communication channels such as via the cloud. If you're stuck with close-range peer-to-peer (one-to-one) file transfers, use a device that supports AirDrop, such as your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
When I try to transfer files from my Mac to my iPhone via Bluetooth, I get the message "This device does not have the required services" |
