Can I Transfer Data on My OPPO Phone via WiFi Tethering?

 

Situation: You want to know if Wi-Fi tethering can be used to transfer data.

Applicable to: Devices that has Wi-Fi Tethering.

No. Wi-Fi Tethering only shares your phone's Internet and cannot share data. It makes your phone as a Wi-Fi router and allows you to share your phone's Internet connection with other Wi-Fi devices. Wi-Fi Tethering only works when your phone is connected to the Internet via mobile data or Wi-Fi network.

For data transport, Wi-Fi Direct can be used. It allows devices to connect to each other directly through Wi-Fi, without the need of a Wi-Fi network or hotspot, and without having to set up the connection. You can also use Wi-Fi Direct to share files with the help of third-party apps.
