About LocalShare: Wi-Fi File Share
LocalShare sends files and messages straight to iPhones and iPads on the same Wi-Fi. Open the app on both devices and they find each other automatically. No pairing, no account, no cloud. SEND FILES AND WHOLE FOLDERS • Pick photos, videos, documents or entire folders and send them in one go. Folders arrive with their structure intact. • The other person sees a prompt and taps Receive, so nothing lands on their device without permission. • Large files and many files at once, with progress, stop and resume. BROWSE SHARED FOLDERS • Choose which folders to share, including iCloud Drive folders, and let nearby devices browse and download them. • Only the folders you share are visible. Everything else stays private. CHAT • Send messages, photos and files to a nearby device. • Delete a whole chat or selected messages, and set chat history to delete itself automatically (1 minute to 24 hours). • Adjustable message text size. SECURE BY DESIGN • Every connection is encrypted with TLS 1.3. • Each device has its own security key. If a key ever changes, LocalShare warns you before anything is exchanged. • Compare a short security code to confirm you’re connected to the right device. EASY TO USE FOR EVERYONE • Senior Mode makes all text and buttons larger and bolder. • Available in English, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese and Russian. PRIVATE • Files and messages go directly between your devices over your local network. Nothing passes through a server. • No ads, no tracking, no account. Requirements: both devices on the same Wi-Fi network with LocalShare open, and Local Network access allowed. Interrupted transfers resume when you return to the app.
