App # 2 – Xender for Android

Xender for Android

Xender is another app for WiFi file transfer , but its even one step ahead than ShareIt.

Using Xender too doesn’t require an Internet connection and is quite easy as follows –
- Download, Install and open the Xender app .

App # 3 – Zapya

Zapya for Android

There were some contenders like feem, which were vying for the third spot, but it eventually went to Zapya, because of quality as well as due to the fact that feem had annoying ads. Using Zapya too is very easy, as follows –
- Download Install, and open Zapya app on the Sender device.
- Browse through the Photos, Music and Files . Simply tap on the file you want to send and click on the “Send” icon highlighted in the alongside figure.

Also, once you get used to the User Interface, you’ll love this new concept . Also, if you face or encounter any problems while using any of these apps feel free to comment.
