A Samsung tool for sending files nearby is failing to deliver to iPhones. A fix is coming, so use another method for now if you share between the two.
A file-sharing tool from Samsung is not working when you try to send files to an iPhone. Android Authority reports the problem affects a tool inside Good Lock, and that a fix is on the way. If you swap photos or documents between a Galaxy phone and an iPhone, expect some hiccups.
Good Lock is an add-on app from Samsung that lets people customize their Galaxy phones. One of its tools is meant as an alternative to Quick Share, which is Samsung's way of sending files to devices nearby. That tool is now failing to share files with iPhones.
The people most likely to notice are households and workplaces with a mix of Samsung and Apple phones. Think of a Galaxy owner trying to send vacation photos to a friend or relative who uses an iPhone. Based on the material available, the trouble is with sending to iPhones.
The material we have does not say when the fix will arrive. It also does not explain what caused the failure or whether every Galaxy phone and every iPhone is affected. Those details may come out once Samsung releases the update.
If you send files from a Galaxy phone to an iPhone, use another method until Samsung ships its promised fix.
