Really? I'll give it a try again. It was clearly not working for me when the router was down.

Yes, I’ve used it to send photos/videos I’ve taken to friends while outside in places where there are no wifi networks.

I wonder if it's different if you have it set to "Contacts only". It may need to connect to iCloud.

I have mine set to Contacts Only, and regularly use it to move photos between iPhone and iPad when on flights (and indeed other locations) without wifi or cellular.

Yes, no router needed since it relies on Wifi Direct.
