DLNA (content streaming)
The
[DLNA]
app is a multimedia content streaming app that allows you to connect your phone wirelessly to
other DLNA-compatible network devices. DLNA-compatible devices, including your phone, can be used to
stream content to other DLNA-compatible devices and copy or transfer content from one device to another.
This means you can enjoy your multimedia content even when it is stored on another device.
