Android smartphones have a wide variety of settings with extensive features. Wi-Fi Direct is one of them. It is an additional feature that you have heard of and almost always view when you enter the settings section of your phone, but you never use it. We will try to explain in detail how to use Wi-Fi Direct and how it works.
What is Wi-Fi Direct?
It is a feature that allows you to share files wirelessly between two different devices that work just like Bluetooth. It is generally preferred for large file sharing. A 2 GB file can be transferred to a different device in just 1 minute. With Bluetooth, this can take quite a long time.
Wi-Fi Direct is used by more than 600 brands. The feature was first used on the Samsung Galaxy S in 2010 and has been available on all Android devices since the Android 4 operating system. Wi-Fi Direct is not only available on phones and tablets, but also on laptops and digital cameras. With this feature, many operations are performed indirectly, such as instant image transfer to smart televisions via smartphone.
With Wi-Fi Direct, you can set up a network connection just like on a computer. All devices joining the network can access and view photos, videos and other content on their different devices.
How to use Wi-Fi Direct?
To use Wi-Fi Direct on Android devices, you need to go to the Settings of your phone or tablet and activate the Nearby Devices option. Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct should not be confused with each other. Wi-Fi allows you to access any internet point, while Wi-Fi Direct allows you to establish a channel between the internet access you are connected to and different devices. On some Android devices, Wi-Fi Direct is activated separately from the existing Wi-Fi connection, while on some devices, Wi-Fi Direct is activated at the same time when Wi-Fi is activated and connected to a network.
It has basic features such as restricting shared content, which devices can access your files and blocking unwanted devices.
