Unable to share anything via WiFi Direct

[abhimanyugupta]

After installing UI 3.0, Android 11 update and Security Patch for Jan 2021 I have realized that there is no option for sharing files via WIFI Direct.

Is anyone else facing the same issue?

The option for sharing via Wi-Fi direct was removed in one ui 3.0

ohh **bleep**! so, how do we share large files with other non samsung devices ?

[meap]

Using nearby share, Bluetooth and NFC

[abhimanyugupta]

[meap]

Yes all the phones from android nougat support nearby share

You can share using quick share on samsung device with android 11 and accept via wifi direct on older phones.!
