Xender

Xender is a free app that sends files from one phone to another. It does not need internet It does not need a cable. It does not need mobile data.

I have used Xender for many years I used it to send movies to my brother I used it to move all my photos to a new phone. I used it on a train with zero network.

On this page, I will tell you what Xender is. I will tell you how to use it. I will also tell you what I like and what I do not like.

If you only want the file, go to our Xender APK Download page [link: /download].

What Is Xender?

Xender is a file sharing app. It makes a direct Wi-Fi link between two devices. Then it sends files over that link.

This link is local. So it does not use your data pack. A 1 GB movie costs you zero MB.

Many people spell it in other ways. Some type “zender” Some type “xander” or “x gender”. Some even search “जेंडर” in Hindi. They all mean the same app.

Xender works on:

. Android phones

. iPhone and iPad

·Windows PC and Mac (through Xender Web or the PC link)

·Tablets

Who Makes Xender?

Xender is made by Anmobi Inc. The official website is xender.com. The app has been around since around 2012.

In India, it is one of the most used sharing apps. Lakhs of people search for “xender” every month.

Why Do People in India Still Use Xender?

Data is cheaper now. So why use Xender? Here are the real reasons I see every day.

·         Big files. A movie can be 2 GB. WhatsApp cannot send that in full quality.

·         No network areas. Villages, trains, hostels, basements. Xender works there.

·         Daily data limits. Many plans give 1.5 GB a day. One video can finish it.

·         Speed. Xender can be much faster than Bluetooth. A full movie can go in about a minute on good phones.

·         No quality loss. Photos and videos are sent as they are. Nothing gets compressed.

Key Features of the Xender App

1. Send Any File Type

You can send photos, videos, music, apps, PDFs, ZIP files and documents. Anything on your phone can go.

2. Share Apps Directly

This is my favourite part. You can send an installed app to a friend. Xender sends it as an APK. Your friend installs it without the Play Store.

3. Phone Replicate (Phone Clone)

Got a new phone? Use “Phone Replicate”. It moves contacts, messages, photos, music and apps from the old phone to the new one.

I did this when I changed my phone last year. It took about 20 minutes. It saved me a full day.

4. Group Sharing

You can connect up to 4 or 5 devices at once. One person can send a file to all of them.

5. Xender Web and PC Transfer

You can connect your phone to a computer. Open the web link on your PC browser. Scan the code. Now drag and drop files.

6. Built-in Video Player and Music Player

Xender can play the videos you get. It also has a music player. You do not need a second app.

7. Video to MP3

You can turn a video into an audio file. I use this for songs I get as video.

8. File Manager

It sorts your files into Photos, Videos, Music, Apps and Files. This makes cleaning your phone easy.

My Real Tips After Years of Using Xender

These are small things. They save a lot of time.

·         Turn off mobile data while sharing. Some phones get confused and drop the link.

·         Keep both phones close. Within 1 to 2 metres is best.

·         Keep the screen on. Some phones stop Xender in the background.

·         Turn on location. Android needs it to find nearby devices. This is the most common reason it fails.

·         Clear the Xender folder each month. It fills up fast and eats storage.

·         Skip the ads. The free version shows ads. Do not tap on “install” ads by mistake.

·         Check the APK before you open it. If a friend sends an app, make sure it is the real one.

Xender Pros and Cons (Honest Review)

What I Like

·Free to use

·No internet or data needed

·Very fast for big files

·No file size limit

·Sends apps as APK

·Works on Android, iPhone and PC

·         Phone clone saves a lot of time

What I Do Not Like

·Too many ads in the free app

·The home screen now has extra stuff, like videos and status savers

·Location and many permissions are asked

·Android to iPhone setup is a bit slow

·Sometimes it drops the link on old phones

My honest view: Xender is still great for one job, which is sending big files fast. The extra features are just okay.

Is Xender Safe to Use?

The official Xender app is safe. Get it from:

·Google Play Store

·Apple App Store

·The official site, xender.com

Be careful with “Xender mod APK” files. Mod versions are changed by unknown people. They may have malware. They may steal your data. I do not suggest them.

Sites like APKPure, Uptodown and Softonic also host the file. They are well known. Still, check the file is signed by the real developer.

Also, think about what you share. Xender sends files over a local link. But do not accept files from strangers in public places.

Xender vs Other Sharing Apps

App	Internet Needed	Speed	iPhone Support	Ads
Xender	No	Very fast	Yes	Yes
SHAREit	No	Very fast	Yes	Many
Nearby Share / Quick Share	No	Fast	No	No
Bluetooth	No	Slow	Limited	No
WhatsApp	Yes	Depends on network	Yes	No

Quick Share is good if both are Android phones. But Xender wins when one person has an iPhone. It also wins when you want to send apps.

Xender Old Versions: Should You Use Them?

Some people search “xender download old version”. Old versions have fewer ads. They are also lighter.

But old versions may not work on new Android. They also miss safety fixes. Use one only if your phone is old and the new app is slow.

You can find a list on our download page [link: /download#old-versions].

Common Problems and Quick Fixes

Problem	Quick Fix
Phones do not connect	Turn on location and Wi-Fi on both
Transfer stops in the middle	Keep screen on, keep phones close
Cannot find received files	Check Internal Storage > Xender folder
App not installed error	Free up space, allow unknown apps
