Does File Sharing work over WiFi?

Does the File Sharing feature in iTunes/Finder require the device to be plugged in, or does it also work over WiFi? It never shows my apps until I plug my phone into the computer.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.1

Hello JayanthSahasranamamula,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We see you're having some questions about File Sharing, and if you can do so with Wi-Fi. We'd like to help!


You would need to plug your device in to use this feature. The following link can help with how to Use iTunes to share files between your computer and your iOs or iPadOS device.


Take care.
