Wi-Fi Direct
Wi-Fi Direct is a standard that allows devices to
connect to each other directly via Wi-Fi, without a Wi-Fi
network or hotspot, and without having to set up the
connection. This type of connection is commonly
called peer-to-peer.
For example, your device can use Wi-Fi Direct to share
photos, contacts and other content with other Wi-Fi
Direct devices. Many of the apps on your device
provide options for sharing via Wi-Fi Direct under
Menu.
