Xiaomi and many now comes with the Hotknot feature which is a rarely
used feature in our phones today largely because we may not know what
it does.

HotKnot is a connectivity option which is also based on near-field
communication technology like NFC. However, in order for the tech to
work well the smartphones must be placed in close proximity at least
within 1 centimeter range. Once that

be exchanged.

The first thing to note is you must have a HotKnot enabled smartphone
and the smartphone you are about to pair with must have the same
connectivity too. Then you should know how to switch HotKnot on and
off.
Secondly, to enable HotKnot on your smartphone, swipe the screen down
to access the quick settings panel and toggle HotKnot on or off. You
can also go the long way by navigating
to Setting >All > HotKnot to switch on. A question comes up instantly
saying "Allow data exchange when the screen Touches another device?"
Immediately you toggle HotKnot on, locate the file you want to share.
Once you have spotted the file, look for the share button below or
above the file you want to share. Once you tap the HotKnot share
button, the final instruction comes up.
After clicking on the HotKnot share button, both smartphones are
placed screen-to-screen to initiate the transfer and you would asked
to accept transfer when the whole process is done.
Both smartphones can finally be put apart after the transfer. The
transfer speed is really superb.
