Bluetooth is one of the fastest and most popular methods of transferring data from one device to another, whether we talk about tablets, smartphones or other mobile devices. It does not require any cables or 3rd party apps and it does not consume any mobile data. Just connect the two devices and start transferring. Here is how you can send and receive data on your HUAWEI device using the Bluetooth.

Sending files via Bluetooth

Before you start the data transfer, make sure that Bluetooth is enabled on both devices. Also, your phone or tablet must be within the Bluetooth range (10 meters or 32 feet) of the other device.

Now you can establish a Bluetooth connection and share multimedia files, web pages or documents between the two devices.

On your device, go to Files, touch and hold a file and select all the files you want to share. Then go to More > Share and choose Bluetooth as sharing method.

Follow the onscreen instructions to enable Bluetooth and when the other device is detected touch its name to start sending the files.

Receiving files via Bluetooth

If you want to receive files via Bluetooth, on the home screen swipe down from the status bar to open the shortcuts panel. Then tap to enable the Bluetooth.

When prompted, touch Accept on the file transfer notification to begin receiving the data.

All the received files are automatically saved to the Bluetooth folder in Files.

Import and export contacts via Bluetooth

If you want to import contacts, open the Contacts list, go to > Settings > Import/Export and select Import via Bluetooth (for EMUI 8, touch Import from another phone and select Supports Bluetooth).

Then follow the onscreen instructions to establish a Bluetooth connection with the other device. Contacts from the other device will then be imported to your phone automatically.

If you want to export contacts, open the Contacts list, go to Settings > Import/Export and select Share contacts. Select the contacts you want to share, then touch and choose Bluetooth as your sharing method.

Follow the onscreen instructions to establish a Bluetooth connection with the other device. The selected contacts will be exported from your phone to the other device automatically.
