Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications
technology for exchanging information over a distance of
about 30 feet. You don’t need to line up the devices to send
information with Bluetooth. If the devices are in range, you
can exchange information between them, even if they are in
different rooms.
Your device can use Bluetooth to share photos, contacts and
other content with other Bluetooth devices. Many of the apps
on your device provide options for sharing via Bluetooth
under
Menu
