File sharing is not exactly the strength of an iPhone or iPad, therefore to transfer files or photos from one mobile phone to another, Bluetooth is used, which is not exactly the most comfortable way. If I have an iPhone while my friend has an Android phone, if we take a trip or an evening together taking some photos with my and his cell phone, it would be nice to immediately and easily receive his photos and, vice versa, send to he mine. For convenience and for the fact that everyone has it, Whatsapp is used for this purpose, but you can certainly find a better and more efficient solution, especially if you want to send these photos to more people. In fact there are some really useful applications available for free in the App Stores for Apple devices and for Google Android that are used to move, send and share files from one mobile phone / tablet to another, without the need for cables or computers.
In this article, we see the best 7 apps for iPhone and Android to send and share files from one mobile phone to another .
