HarmonyOS NEXT air gesture file transfer feature coming to more devices

Huawei is bringing the HarmonyOS NEXT Air Gesture File Transfer tool to more devices. The feature was already available for Mate 70, Pura 70, and Mate 60 handsets. Now, the company is expanding the reach of this gesture to more users.

Air Gesture File Transfer is an interesting behavior of sharing files to several devices. Instead of transmitting media or documents to another device via an app, you can simply perform magical gestures and complete the respective task.

The Air Gesture File Transfer feature debuted with the Mate 70 series. Users can enact the grabbing gesture to screenshot the content, like images or any important file, and release it on the other phone/tablet. The media will transfer within seconds.

Earlier, the feature was available to the Mate 70 and Mate X6 smartphones. The company opened the tool for Pura 70 and Mate 60 models with the HarmonyOS NEXT Beta update. Now, it is bringing the feature to more compatible devices.

HarmonyOS NEXT 5.0.0.126 public beta is rolling out to eligible models. The update consists of a massive changelog with features for every segment of the phone.

One of these is the HarmonyOS NEXT Air Gesture File Transfer feature that is reaching more devices. Currently, the new update is approaching these handsets:
