Bluetooth Settings

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology for exchanging information over
a distance of about 30 feet. You don’t need to line up the devices to send information with
Bluetooth. If the devices are in range, you can exchange information between them, even if they
are in different rooms.

Your device can use Bluetooth to share photos, contacts and other content with other Bluetooth
devices. Many of the apps on your device provide options for sharing via Bluetooth under
