It is a data transfer application that allows you to share data such as contacts, music, videos, messages, applications, and other files between smartphones. It is a great solution that comes in handy when sharing contacts, especially in the case where you are switching from one phone to another. In addition, you can use the application to transfer data between phones on different platforms, for example, between an iPhone (iPhone 8) and an Android phone.
