Huawei’s HarmonyOS 6 system supports direct file transfers to Apple devices for first time


Huawei Technologies on Wednesday released to consumers in China the latest version of its proprietary operating system, HarmonyOS 6, that enables direct file transfers between Huawei and Apple devices for the first time.
The updated mobile operating system’s new function, which is similar to Apple’s AirDrop feature, enables short-range wireless transfer of photos and documents without the need for data plans.

According to Huawei, the function “breaks down device boundaries and allows for more flexible data flow”.

That function also showed Shenzhen-based Huawei’s efforts to further improve the user experience of its mobile operating system, as it competes against Android and Apple’s iOS in China, the world’s largest smartphone market.
