Xender is a world file-sharing app with millions of users. It is wireless, swift, and does not consume mobile data to transfer files between devices. However, occasionally, even Xender users are plagued by one annoying issue: slow transfer speed.
If you have ever experienced sharing photos, videos, or apps through Xender and it took ages, you are not alone. There are a few reasons why the speed of Xender can be impacted. In this blog, we will discuss the primary causes of the slowness of Xender and how to easily resolve them.
Device Distance Is Important
The most common reason for slow transfer speed is the distance between the two devices. Xender works best when devices are near each other. As you get farther from the other phone or tablet, the signal weakens and the transfer speed slows down.
Temporary solution:
Position both devices 1–2 meters apart from each other. The closer they are to each other, the stronger the link and the faster the files will be transferred.
Too Many Wi-Fi Signals Surrounding You
Believe it or not, the environment you are in may affect your transfer speed. If you are in a place where you have a number of active Wi-Fi networks, like a cafe, shopping mall, or office, it can cause signal interference.
Quick fix:
Try to use Xender somewhere where there are not too many active Wi-Fi networks. If possible, retreat to a room or room where the Wi-Fi signals do not overlap too much.
Too Many Programs Running in the Background
Sometimes, though, the problem isn’t Xender—it’s your phone. If there are a lot of apps open on your phone in the background, they might be draining the Wi-Fi or draining the power of your phone. That means slow file transferring.
Quick fix:
Before sending files via Xender, turn off all unnecessary applications. This will provide room and reduce network consumption, thereby accelerating the transfer.
Slow Device or Low RAM
Older phones or cheaper phones lack RAM and may not even support quick file transfers. While your phone is slow overall, it may be slow enough that it can’t keep up with the speed that Xender can.
RAM is your phone’s working memory. If it’s full, your phone will slow down while copying files. This can especially happen while copying enormous videos or many files simultaneously.
Rapid repair:
Switch off your phone before using Xender. It refreshes your memory and provides your phone with a new beginning. You can even clear the cache or delete unwanted applications to make room.
Outdated Wi-Fi technology or hardware,
If you possess one of the oldest devices, then it is perhaps due to the older Wi-Fi technology. Xender employs a Wi-Fi Direct connection, and the older devices could not support the quick protocols. This decelerates the whole process, even if the other device is a new one.
Quick fix:
Wherever possible, utilize Xender on newer or same-generation phones. Also, keep your device software updated to the latest firmware. Periodic updates can improve speed and connectivity.
Final Reflections
Xender is known to be fast, with wireless file transfers, yet many little things can slow it down. It could be distance, background applications, too many Wi-Fi signals, or an outdated phone, but the good news is that all these are easy problems to solve. Just do the above steps and enjoy a seamless, quick sharing experience.
