What Xender is
Xender transfers apps, photos, videos, music, and documents between Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS devices. Transfers can happen without mobile data or Wi-Fi, and Xender says files move directly between devices rather than through cloud storage. Its support page says transfers are encrypted and have no file-size restrictions, and claims speeds up to 40Mb/s. Listed formats include MP3, MP4, JPEG, PDF, and DOCX. You can begin sharing without an account, or send content from third-party apps through the “Share via Xender” option. The product also describes downloading social media videos and statuses, converting YouTube videos to MP3 with Tomp3, and backing up or copying data from an old phone to a new one. Support resources include website help, FAQs, in-app guidance, and troubleshooting guides. Xender is free, with a listed plan of no cost and no subscription fees. It has no web interface. Its privacy notice says it collects device details and app activity, and may collect coarse location data subject to applicable law.
