How to transfer photos from an Android phone to an iPhone

In this way you will not lose any of the images that had been saved on your Android phone. We currently have two ways to accomplish this. We can do it manually or using an application. We explain how it is carried out in process in both cases. Thus, you can choose the one that suits you best.

Transfer photos from Android to iPhone manually

In this case we have to resort to iTunes for the process. It will become our main ally to easily transfer photos from Android to iPhone. It doesn't matter if we have a Mac or Windows computer to do this process. It works the same way on both. Therefore, you may have to install iTunes, otherwise you already have it.

When we have this, we must connect the Android device to the computer and search for the photos and / or videos that we want to transfer. In the case of using Windows, simply search for the DCIM folder on the phone. If you are using Mac, you have to use a program called Android File Transfer that will help you in the process.

What we have to do, in both cases, is to select the photos and videos that we want to copy and place them in a folder in our computer. When we have already copied them to that folder, we can disconnect the Android phone from the computer. Next we connect the iPhone and run iTunes. Although it can happen that iTunes starts automatically when connecting the phone. But if this does not happen we can always run it manually by selecting the phone icon in the upper left.

Information on your iPhone will appear on the screen. In the menu located on the left side there is an option called photos, which is the one we have to go to. Next you will have to check the option to synchronize photos. Although it is important to know that if you have the iCloud Photos option activated on the phone, nothing will appear on the screen. So it is important that you turn it off first. Once that is done we can do the synchronization. It will allow us to select the folder in which we have saved the photos.

Transfer photos from Android to iPhone using an application

We have a second possibility that can be much more comfortable. It is an application called Move to iOS. It is an application that Apple has developed to make this transition process much easier for users. The application is available in the Play Store. Thanks to it we will be able to transfer photos, videos, contacts, email accounts and many more to our new iPhone.

Although it has a fairly important drawback that it is important for you to know. The application can be used only when we are configuring the iPhone from scratch. That is, as soon as we take it out of the box and turn it on. In case we have finished configuring it, it cannot be used. Or we have to delete everything and start again.

But, in general we are faced with an application that is extremely useful. Furthermore, its use is very simple. So it makes the whole process comfortable. The steps we have to follow in the event that we use the application are:

1. Search the iPhone for the Apps screen and data. Within it we find an option called " Transfer data from Android ". Click on it.On your Android phone, open the application and click continue. Once inside it (after passing the terms and conditions) click on next, which is located in the upper right corner of the screen. We return to the iPhone. Click on continue on the "Transfer from Android" screen. Then we will get a six or ten digit code. We have to enter that code on the Android phone. We wait a few seconds until "transfer data" appears on the screen. We select the content that we want to transfer to the Android phone (photos, videos…) and once this is done click on next. The transfer process between the two devices begins. Depending on the number of files that we are sending, the process will take more or less. So it's a matter of waiting.

Once the time has passed, the process will be over. We have already transferred everything we want from our Android phone to the brand new iPhone.

Both ways are equally valid. So depending on your situation (if it is a new iPhone or not), there may be one that is more useful to you. We hope it has been helpful for you when you have to transfer photos from an Android phone to an iPhone.
