Pick the photos and videos you want, scan a QR code, and they transfer directly between the two phones on the same network. Received media lands straight in your Photos library, and the original location and capture date come along for the ride. HOW IT WORKS - Put both phones on the same Wi-Fi. - Open Ferry, tap Start, and scan the QR code (or type the address + PIN). - Choose photos and videos, and send. That's it. WHY FERRY - Full quality. Originals are sent without recompression. - Keeps metadata. GPS location and capture date are preserved. - Private. Transfers happen device-to-device on your local network.
