In which case, we’re talking about 2 different apps, apparently with similar names. The one to which I refer is called “SmartSwitch”, (all one word). I believe the other one is called “Smart Switch”, (two words).

Smart Switch uses high frequency sound to communicate between point A and point B and the reason for this is simple enough. By using high frequency for transmission and reception the user can transmit/receive data to/from devices without having to know details of local Wifi or Bluetooth connection passwords, pairing requests etc thus the data from one phone can be transmitted and received by the other seamlessly. The only thing the user has to do is to allow access to the microphone of the device where the data is being transferred too. The Microphone is required so the device can hear the frequency tones generated by the sending device. You can yourself hear some of these high frequency data tones wit your own ears. So that’s how Smart Switch works in the installation faze and I suspect it works the same way should you wish to use the App again in normal mode - after Setup -. > On 21 Apr 2019, at 7:42 pm, Gordon Smith <gor...@mac-access.net> wrote: > > SmartSwitch isn’t a Samsung app actually, although I believe they have their > own custom version.
