How to Transfer Apps Between 2 Phones via Bluetooth
To transfer apps between 2 phones via Bluetooth, all you need is a handy little tool called APK Extractor
Download APK Extractor to your device and install it here: Download APK Extractor
Download APK Extractor to your device, then open the app, scroll down the list to the app you want to transfer to another device via Bluetooth. Long press on that app and a checkbox along with familiar share and download icons will appear at the top of the screen.
Now you can select multiple apps that you want to compress and share via Bluetooth by ticking the boxes next to the apps.
After selecting the apps, tap on the Share icon at the top of the screen, then choose Bluetooth. Make sure that the Android device you are sending the apps to other devices has Bluetooth enabled.
If meeting the above conditions, on the Choose Bluetooth device screen (on the sending device), the receiving device will appear in the list. Select that device and it will receive a notification to choose the location to accept the app/APK.
Once the APK is transferred via Bluetooth, you can access it through the notification menu on the receiving device, but if you accidentally close these notifications, you can find the file in the Download folder or ExtractedAPKs folder using the file manager on the device.
When you find the APK file on the receiving device, simply tap on the file and select Install. Note that you will need to enable Unknown sources as the APK is installed from outside the Play Store.
So you've completed the process of transferring apps between 2 phones via Bluetooth. Now the app is installed on both devices.
Accessing the Internet is just a temporary solution, remember that Bluetooth is a great solution for transferring files and apps between local devices.
If the version of the app you are using is a paid version, then the version of the app received by the other device is the free version (if available). However, you should also not 'abuse' it as a means to 'receive' other free versions as this is illegal.
