You can share stickers, transfer any types of large files (like photos, movies, videos, audios or others etc.) without the Internet because it uses WIFI, WIFI hotspot, WIFI Direct feature, which is already present in your smartphone. It works exactly like a file sharing apps like – Xender, Send Anywhere, Zapya, Shareit etc. So you can transfer big files over 1 GB easily.
