App summary
Wi‑Fi Keyboard is an Android utility that enables text-based exchanges between phones using local wireless connections. Instead of relying on mobile data or a Wi‑Fi internet link, it lets one handset act as the central transmitter so others can send and receive messages within the same local wireless area.
How it works
The application creates a local communication channel: one device functions as the host and broadcasts a Wi‑Fi signal that nearby devices can connect to. Once connected, the phones can share plain text without passing through the internet.
Requirements
- Every participating device must have the application installed to join the local text network.
- The setup does not depend on an active internet service — communication uses local wireless only.
- A single phone must be configured as the host/server to manage connections and relay messages.
Coverage and limitations
Range is limited to the effective reach of the host phone’s Wi‑Fi signal, so devices must remain within that vicinity to maintain communication. The system is best suited for short‑range scenarios; performance may vary with physical obstacles, interference, or device hardware.
