Are you someone who loves to take photos? If so, you probably have a lot of images saved on your Android phone. You also likely have friends or family who also love taking photos. What this means is that you probably want to send photos from your Android to your iPhone from time to time. If you’re reading this, then it’s clear that you can’t find a way to send those photo files from your Android to your iPhone just yet. It might seem like a challenge, but it’s actually pretty easy once you know the best ways. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to send photos from Android to iPhone as quickly and efficiently as possible so that you never have to struggle with it again!
How To Send Photos From Android To iPhone
AirDrop
AirDrop is a new feature that Apple added to the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. It allows you to share photos with friends and family by simply tapping on their name in your contacts list. The best part about AirDrop is that it only requires Wi-Fi connectivity, so it’s really easy to use. Plus, there are no storage limits for AirDrop, so you can send as many photos as you want at once.
iCloud
The iCloud is the cloud storage service that Apple offers to users of the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac. If you’re a fan of the cloud, then it’s likely that you’ve already set up your iCloud account. For those who haven’t, you should know that setting up an iCloud account is a quick and easy process. Once it’s set up, you can use it to share photos with your friends and family using iCloud Photo Sharing.
Dropbox
Dropbox is another popular cloud storage service that allows users to store files in the cloud for easy access from any device with internet access. It also comes with a file manager app so that you can easily manage your files from your Android phone or iPhone. If you have a Dropbox account already, then sharing photos with friends and family will be extremely simple.
Google Drive
Google Drive is Google’s own cloud storage service which allows users to store files in the cloud for easy access from any device with internet access. It also comes with a file manager app so that you can easily manage your files from your Android phone or iPhone. If you have a Google Drive account already, then sharing photos with friends and family will be extremely simple too!
SMS/MMS Messaging
If you don’t have a cloud storage service, then you can still share photos with friends and family by sending them via text message or MMS. It might not be as fast as the others, but it will work in a pinch.
Google Photos
Google Photos is another option for sharing photos with friends and family. It’s a great alternative to Google Drive because it offers unlimited photo storage for free.
Bluetooth
If you’re in the same room as your friend or family member, then you can easily send photos from your phone to their phone using Bluetooth technology. All you have to do is select “Send with Bluetooth” from the list of sharing options and make sure that both of your phones are connected to the same Wi-Fi network before selecting the photos that you want to send over Bluetooth. Once that’s done, tapping on their name will automatically transfer those photos over via Bluetooth!
Email Photo Attachments
Another way to send photos is by attaching them to an email and sending them off via email just like any other file attachment would be sent off through email. If you know how to attach files in Gmail (or another email client), then this method should be no problem at all!
Install Google Photos on your Android
Install Google Photos on your Android
First, you’ll need to download and install the Google Photos app from the Google Play Store. This is a free app that can help you manage all of your photos on your Android phone. After installing the app, you can launch it and set up an account if you haven’t already done so. If you already have an account, then sign in now by tapping on your profile picture in the upper right corner of the screen.
Once logged in, there are two ways to send photos from Android to iPhone with this app:
Send photos via email with Google Photos
The second way is much easier! Simply tap on any photo that you want to send and then tap on the three dots icon in the upper right corner of the screen. This will show a menu of options for that photo, one of which is “Share” at the bottom. Tap this option and choose “Email Photo” from your list of options. This will let you email that photo to anyone using any email provider (including Gmail or Yahoo!). You can also select multiple photos by tapping and holding on each image before choosing “Email Photo” from this menu once again! That simple! (If you want to see how this works in action before giving it a try yourself, check out our video below!)
Send photos via text message with Google Photos
If sending images via text message is more convenient for you or your recipient, then you can do that too! Simply tap on any photo that you want to send and then tap on the three dots icon in the upper right corner of the screen. This will show a menu of options for that photo, one of which is “Share” at the bottom. Tap this option and choose “Text Message” from your list of options. This will let you send that photo to anyone who has a phone number (even if they don’t have an Android phone!). You can also select multiple photos by tapping and holding on each image before choosing “Text Message” from this menu once again! That simple!
Send photos via iMessage with Google Photos
If sending images via iMessage is more convenient for you or your recipient, then you can do that too! Simply tap on any photo that you want to send and then tap on the three dots icon in the upper right corner of the screen. This will show a menu of options for that photo, one of which is “Share” at the bottom. Tap this option and choose “iMessage” from your list of options. This will let you send that photo to anyone who has an iPhone running iOS 10 or later (even if they don’t have an Android phone!). You can also select multiple photos by tapping and holding on each image before choosing “iMessage” from this menu once again! That simple!
Use Dropbox to send photos from Android to iPhone
Open up the Dropbox app on your Android phone and log in to the account you want to use.
Open up the Dropbox app on your iPhone and log in to the same account.
Select the photo you want to send from your Android phone and choose “Share”.
In the Share menu, choose “Dropbox”.
On your iPhone, open up Dropbox and select “Photos” from the bottom navigation menu.
Select the photo you want to share with others by tapping on it once it appears in full-screen mode (you can also swipe through multiple photos if you have more than one).
At this point, tap on “Send” and select who you want to share this image with from your contact list or enter an email address for someone new that you’d like to send this photo (you can also tap on “Add a comment” if you would like).
This will share that image directly into their Dropbox account as well!
Sync your Android Photos to iCloud
- First, you’ll want to make sure that your Android photos are backed up on iCloud. If you’re not already using iCloud, you can set it up on your Android phone by going to Settings > iCloud and then turning on iCloud Photo Library.
- To sync your photos from your Android to your iPhone, go to Settings > Photos & Camera and tap Sync Photos from the menu options. This will make sure that all of the photos that are on your Android phone will be added to your iPhone’s photo library as soon as you connect the two devices together through a USB cable or Wi-Fi connection.
- When you connect your iPhone and Android phone together, you’ll be able to access all of the photos on both devices through the Photos app. You can also use this connection method with any other photo-sharing apps that might be available for both devices (such as Google Photos).
- The best thing about using this method is that all of the photos that are sent from one device will automatically appear in both places without needing any extra work or transferring applications!
Conclusion
There are many ways to send photos from Android to iPhone. If you don’t already own an iPhone, you can use the Google Photos app to send photos via email. If you do own an iPhone, you can use the iCloud Photo Library to sync your photos or the Dropbox app to send photos via email. Now that you know how to send photos from Android to iPhone, you’ll be able to share photos with your friends and family with ease. You can also use this as an opportunity to try out a new phone.
