Bluetooth Settings
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 phone can use Bluetooth to share photos, contacts and other content with other Bluetooth
devices. Many of the apps on your phone provide options for sharing via Bluetooth under More
options, or with the Share icon.
