2. When transferring data with Bluetooth, your phones are susceptible to getting attacked. So, make sure your Bluetooth condition is safe.

3. The Bluetooth transfer speed depends on your device's Bluetooth version. Generally, the Bluetooth version tends to be higher if your device is relatively new.
