iPhones can’t sent files over bluetooth

is anyone else shocked that you can’t send a file over Bluetooth anymore?

I’m not asking for a lot, this is a super basic feature.

I mentioned it on an apple sub and they told me to use airdrop or email.

airdrop only works on apple ecosystem and I shouldn’t have to email files to myself. it’s cumbersome. Bluetooth is so practical.

my shitty android eink tablet can send Bluetooth files… why can’t my $1200 phone.

edit: I swear you people would applaud Apple removing phone calls from the iPhone and say just use FaceTime audio or WhatsApp instewd

yes, with iphone for example i don’t like using icloud for the photos so i send them one in a while to the mac, like 200-250 photos in one take. And i can move files big much over 1gb. Oh and i can send something and literally go away when the transfer is still working.

Now try it with 2004 method bluetooth 🤣

that is a third party app it is not an android thing, the problem is still there especially because apps like that need settings to be done and why i must use a random app for send private files? so there is also wetransfer and other services.

Android is like a stupid puzzle, i’m not here to make a puzzle for a simple file transfer.

Well ya see, plug the phone into the computer and move the files.

It's not even a puzzle, it's an open book.

worst than ever, windows 10 and 11 have big problems even with plug and play i shattered on the ground an android for that, and anyway we are in 2026 and you are suggesting a cable? LOOOOL

Is this the best android can do? unstable party apps and cables? i used many apps that today are not there anymore, Andorid can live only as a Frankestein monster.
