IOS APP connection type is always relay

IOS APP connection type is always relay even devices are on the same network. I have tried with me android tablet and it has connection type local properly. But on my iPhone can not handle it and it transfer files slowly because of relay connection type. Is this really about the iOS app or a bug? Can you check yours? Can it fix it please help me.

Hi again, while waiting an answer via this forum, I tried my wife’s iPhone and my kids iPhone, both of them also can not make a connection type local via app. But I tried android tablet, it can make local connection type via app.

This means iOS app has a bug about making connection type local instead of relay according to me and my experience.

am I only one has this problem? Please support.

I cant beleive that i am the only one who has this relay connection problem with ios app meanwhile android app has no problem.

How can people trust WD products even they cant find answers in this official forum if WD.
