How To Send Android Apps Via Bluetooth

We’ve already covered how to share any file from your Android device to any other, and one of the methods we discussed was Bluetooth. Now, this is all well and good, but what if you want to use Bluetooth to send an app (APK file) to a friend? Well, it turns out that this is actually possible.

This might seem like an odd thing to do, but perhaps your friend doesn’t have access to Wi-Fi where they are and so cannot download the app using the Play Store. Well now you can share it with them via Bluetooth.
