KDE Connect will also work with bluetooth connections

KDE Connect

One of the most important tools in Ubuntu and especially in Kubuntu, is and has been KDE Connect. This tool or program allows us to control our smartphone from our desktop. It has become a popular tool to such an extent that other programs or applications such as Opera have tried to offer the same as KDE Connect.

From the KDE Connect development team we have learned about the new functions that the application will bring to the desktops. The most striking is the use of the bluetooth connection for the use and control of our smartphone through KDE Connect.

Bluetooth will be the new technology that KDE Connect will use to offer its functions to all its users

This new function is interesting and will be very useful for many users as it will allow control the mobile without having to be on the same wireless network, we will only need a bluetooth connection to exchange files, receive notifications, etc ... This function is already available in the git repository KDE Connect, but we have to say that it is not finished yet and there are functions that do not work correctly. In this section we have seen how the new version works via bluetooth but only allow files to be sent between devicesWe still cannot receive notifications or reply to messages, etc ... So there is still a long way to go for the repository development to be a usable version.

I personally think this new feature will be something very useful for Ubuntu and KDE Connect users, because not everyone can have access to a computer with Internet access via Wi-Fi. However it is true that the limitations of the new version are still many and it seems that we still have to endure to get the new version or what is the same, we have to endure with the functions and features that KDE Connect currently has Do not you think?
