Bluetooth is more present than ever in our lives, especially because we enjoy different advantages of using it continuously on our mobile phones. More than anything, because thanks to this type of technology we can connect the mobile phone to the car’s Bluetooth in a simple way and through different options. And not only this, but we will also achieve different utilities and uses that facilitate many actions.
As is the case that, in addition to being able to receive or make calls, we can also get our smartphone to send files, connect to other devices, such as a computer. We can even make it possible for our smartphone to easily share the Internet to other devices once we have it started.
Connect the mobile to the computer via Bluetooth
One of the first examples of utilities that we can carry out thanks to this type of connection will be the fact of pairing the mobile to the computer. However, and as is logical, the first thing is that both devices have this technology among their characteristics. Although, nowadays, all mobile phones have this connection, in addition to the fact that current computers are also accompanied by it.
Once we have made sure that both computers have this connection, we just have to go on to configure them in the correct way. To do this, they must be enabled on the two devices and thus link them. In Android, in general, we will have to enter Settings and access Connections> Bluetooth . Then, we will have to select our computer. In the case of iOS, it will be directly enter Settings> Bluetooth.
As for the computer, in Windows we will need to enable this technology as well. In this operating system you have to go to Start, enter Settings, Devices and activate this technology. When we are in this section we must also click Add new device.
However, we will have to make sure that both computers are configured correctly to be detected. And it is that, if not, we could not get to match them. From that moment on, we can send files from one device to another. We will simply have to press send and choose Bluetooth as the option .
Therefore, it is one of the simplest ways to connect our mobile to the computer through this wireless technology. In addition to that we will avoid having to use cables in between to have to transfer files from one to another.
Send files to another smartphone
The best thing about this type of technology is that we have a type of connection that has gone from being one of the oldest in our mobiles, to becoming one of the most versatile. Basically because with it we can not only use sound devices of all kinds, from headphones to speakers, but it also goes further, by the simple fact that we will have the ability to send and receive files from other phones. An action that is very simple to do in most terminals.
In addition, it is that at no time will it be necessary to have an Internet connection . So it is a communication method that can work at any time and place. Of course, the requirement is that the phones are at a close distance, since, if not, they will not be able to be paired. And as is evident, we need a mobile with this connectivity, although as we said before, all mobile phones already have it.
In addition to following the previous route to enable this technology on our smartphone, we will have the option to enable this connection by clicking on the quick shortcut that we find when sliding the screen from the top to the bottom of the phone. By selecting the icon of this technology we will have it activated automatically. In the case of having an iPhone we will have to slide the Control Center.
Connect to the car with your mobile
This will be one of the simplest and most useful steps that we will have in our hands, since we only have to follow an order. The first thing we have to do is activate this technology on our smartphone and then we can start the car. To do this we enter Settings> Connections> Bluetooth and click on the switch to activate it. Once done, we will have to look for it in the list of available Bluetooth connections.
When we have done this step we will have to wait for it to finish connecting without problems. Depending on the year of the vehicle, it will be easy to link it, since the new vehicles have this technology integrated. Whereas, in older cars, it will depend on whether we have changed the radio or not. In any case, some vehicles may ask us for a pairing password.
To do this, we will have to check if there is a specific code in the instruction book of your vehicle’s radio, although the most common by default are 0000 or 1234. Once the vehicle is made it will be ready to receive and send calls, as well as the fact that we will be able to reproduce multimedia content .
Share the Internet of your mobile with Bluetooth
Another of the great uses of this connection is the fact of sharing the Internet with our smartphone. To do this, we will have to turn on both the Wi-Fi connection of your mobile and this wireless connection. When we have enabled these two options, we will have to look for the Wi-Fi point that we have set from our smartphone.
To do this, open the Settings of your mobile device and go to the menu connections or Wi-Fi. Once inside, you will have to search for the Wi-Fi network that you have started to enable from your mobile device. Therefore, to check which network you have created, you have to go to the Shared Connection menu or similar, since it may vary depending on the customization layer of your phone. Within this section, you will be able to look at the password that those devices that want to connect to your Internet will have to put, as well as the name that it will have.
However, some smartphone brands, such as Samsung smartphones, allow us to do the classic network anchor, which allows us to share our connection with other mobiles . But, an alternative and fast way to do it is through this type of connectivity. In this way we will be able to share both mobile data and Wi-Fi Internet through this connection.
To do this, the first thing we have to do is swipe up to access the applications panel. After this, we will have to click on Settings and go to the connections section. Once done, click on Mobile Hotspot and Network Anchor> and activate the switch next to Network Anchor.
