Xender For iPhone still comes very much in handy in 2017. If you are an iPhone user, you are probably aware of the limitations with iOS.
One of the prominent being unable to download files. By files, i am making reference to music and video files. Being able to download pictures on the platform is still very valid.
Other than being able to download files, sending and receiving files from iPhone to other OS platform like android, can be a pain in the butt.
Jailbreaking sorta makes the experience better. However, jailbreaking voids your warranty (that’s if you still have one). So, in most cases, I wouldn’t exactly advise jailbreaking. Except you care less about your phone’s warranty.
Thanks to likes of Xender, transmitting files between Android and iOS is achievable. You do not necessarily need a computer for this. The xender app being installed on both the iOS and the Android device is enough.
Of course, there are steps in-other to make the transmission a success. Steps I’d be outlining here. First off, you should download Xender for iPhone HERE. Alternatively, search the App store for Xender and download.
