Isnt that what QuickShare and Airdrop solves?

Airdrop is two people at a time. Say we had a group of 8 people I don’t want to do 7 air drop exchanges to get all the photos.

QuickShare, AirDrop and LocalSend all use WiFi, which can be a problem when using a VPN (it is for me).

Sounds like the problem is your vpn client if you cant chose what traffic goes into it

You can blame whatever or whoever you want, the problem remains.

Right but turning the VPN off invalidates the purpose of using a VPN. And even if it didn't, it's not convenient to disable on both devices and then turn it back on. The whole purpose of this software is convenience.
