Good day

I would like to know after sending a file via bluetooth, is there anyway to see what file was sent from the phone to the other phone?

For example: I sent a file from my friends phone, will he be able to find out what file I sent and to what phone?

Thanks
 
How that be done? I don't know... What phone btw? With all these fancy phone OS's nothing's impossible?
 
Goodness, I doubt it. It is obviously possible if you have low level access to the Blutooth stack and the OS's logs, but I doubt any phone manufacturer out there exposes this.

Sounds like you sent something dodgy and doesn't want your friend to find out? :)

Oops. :erm:
 
Ah the ol' find-naked-pics-of-the-gf-on-her-phone-and-bluetooth-them-to-yourself trick...

Yes on any modern smartphone you can view the OS logs which will tell you each file transferred and the name of the receiving device.

It does sound like it doesn't it? but No.. it's not about something like that.. It was just something my friend and i thought of during a movie when they were tracking people using their GPS..

I see... can you tell me how I would check on a smart phone?
