It doesn't for me..., what device you on?

Me neither

Huh? What kind of backwards ass device are you using?

iPhone 😂

Any time I turn on vpn I can’t copy between devices 😭

I think iPhone uses WiFi for handoff functionality the same way it uses WiFi for airdrop. Faster.

That’s correct. I can’t use most of my smart home devices from my phone over a VPN either.

Weird. I just airdropped a video 15 min ago and I was on vpn the whole time.

AirDrop uses WiFi but it’s ad hoc between the devices. Handoff is a continual connection, and goes over your LAN

Ah makes sense then

Since when😭

For example mullvad vpn is default in "VPN Settings" set to off for local network sharing. If changed to on, it allows sharing between devices such as airdrop etc.

Interesting. Thanks!
