it can't, Bluetooth has a very limited datarate anyway

  That's why many only use Bluetooth to create an ad-hoc wifi network and do the transfer on that instead. Airdrop even requires bluetooth.

    why not do straight up ad-hoc wi-fi?

      It is easy to do Bluetooth discovery between apps on Android/ios. I have not seen the same for wifi.

        that's because Google actively won't implement it... not sure why but there was issues with "thousands" of comments requesting it (because it is part of WiFi standard). Not sure about Apple. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36904180 https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36904180 (won't fix, obsolete, according to these mofos) https://i.imgur.com/xei98fy.png https://i.imgur.com/xei98fy.png (who the fuck knows how many more comments it would have got if they didn't block commenting) It was implemented once on Cyanogenmod thought... A lot of the posts about this have been de-indexed from Google Search too.
