SwiftDrop lets you send photos, videos, documents, and any file type directly between phones over your local WiFi network. No internet connection required, no cloud uploads, no cables — just tap and send.
Works between any combination — Android to Android, iPhone to iPhone, or across platforms.
HOW IT WORKS
Open SwiftDrop on both devices
Make sure both are on the same WiFi network
Tap the device you see, pick your files, and hit send
The other device gets a notification to accept — done
No router? No problem. Use Direct Connect to create a temporary hotspot from your Android device. The other device scans a QR code to join and start transferring immediately.
