Sending photos, videos and APKs phone to phone

ShareMe transfers photos, videos, documents, music and APK files directly between Android devices. Files do not need to be uploaded to the cloud first, so the transfer does not use mobile data and is usually faster than Bluetooth. Performance depends on the local wireless connection, distance and the capabilities of both phones.

No internet does not mean no Wi-Fi

During a transfer, ShareMe establishes a direct connection or a temporary hotspot. Wi-Fi can remain active even when the phone reports that the network has no internet access. This is normal: the radio provides a local connection between devices rather than access to the wider internet.

Before starting, avoid automatic switching to mobile data and keep both devices nearby. Walls, crowded wireless networks and battery-saving settings can reduce speed. A stable connection matters more for a large video than a brief peak transfer rate.

Assign sender and receiver roles

Select Send on one phone and Receive on the other. The devices then find each other by name or connection code. If both users select Send, discovery will not complete. Return to the start screen and assign the roles again.

If the receiver is not found, check Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and nearby-device discovery permissions. Some Android versions associate local discovery with location permission, although the transfer itself does not require geographic coordinates. Reopen the app after changing permissions.

Files are sorted into categories

ShareMe groups the phone’s contents into categories such as music, apps and images. You pick items from each tab and send them in one batch. This saves time compared with digging through folders in a file manager.

The apps category lets you share installed applications with another Android phone. The recipient still has to allow installation from ShareMe before the APK can be installed. Keep the earlier advice about trusted sources in mind here.

Find and verify received files

ShareMe records completed transfers in its history, and the files are also stored on the phone. Photos generally appear in the gallery or Google Photos after indexing; documents and APK files can be located by name or date in a file manager. The destination folder depends on Android and app settings.

If a connection breaks, a visible filename does not prove that the transfer finished. Compare its size with the original and open the received file. This is especially important for archives and APKs: an incomplete file may look normal but fail to extract in ZArchiver or refuse to install.

Resume a transfer after it breaks

Large videos sometimes stop halfway when a phone moves out of range or the screen locks. The developer says an interrupted transfer can be resumed with a single tap. You do not have to start the whole batch from the beginning.

Bring the phones back close together and keep both apps open before resuming. After it finishes, check the file size again, as described above. A resumed transfer should end with the same size as the original.

Match permissions to the files being shared

Sending images requires access to the selected photos, documents require file access, and discovery requires nearby-device permissions. Permanent access to the entire media library is not always necessary; newer Android versions let users select individual images. Permissions can be revoked afterward in system settings.

Share installation packages only with a trusted recipient and from a known source. ShareMe delivers files but does not establish whether an APK is safe. For documents and personal photos, a direct local transfer avoids creating an additional copy in a cloud service such as TeraBox.

Price, languages and who it suits

ShareMe is free and has no in-app purchases. It is published by Xiaomi but works on Android phones from other brands. The interface is available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.

The app fits people who move photos and videos between Android phones often, especially without mobile data. The Google Play description lists only Android devices. Transfers to a laptop or an iPhone need a different tool.
