Dear WP8.1 Dev Preview users.., I am sure you are all enjoying the new OS. I read somewhere that 8.1 is gona feature Wifi Direct. Can you please confirm whether we can share files via Wifi direct in the new OS..

Having used it for about a month I don't think we have it builtin ...maybe the SDK has capabilities from which an app Can be developed to do this....as of now NO.....

I did search and found another thread. Amazing what search can do.

In any case, it was stated that a firmware update is required for it to work.

So that's for sure we are not getting it in wp8.1 . May be in gdr updates.
