There are many ways to do this, each with their own merits and drawbacks. In this guide we'll cover all the best methods we've found - whether it be using your computer, or an online service. On the other hand, if you don't wish to use your computer
to aid in transferring your content, you can use online methods instead.
Step 1: Copy photos from Android to computerMethod 1 - How to copy photos from Android to PC the smart wayIf you're using Windows on your computer, we recommend using Droid Transfer for transferring data from Android to PC. With Droid Transfer, you can access all your Android data through your computer and easily transfer the stuff you need to the computer. The great thing about this method is that you can create a differential backup of your photos. This means that you can intelligently copy only photos which you have not copied already to your chosen folder on PC. This saves you lots of time looking through your photo library deciding whether you have already backed up certain photos. Here's how to transfer your Android photos using Droid Transfer:
This method is great because it prevents you accidentally copying photos that you have already copied before, thereby eliminating the risk of creating duplicates. It also makes it really easy if you need to backup the photos regularly (which is recommended).
As you can see, you can view all your photos and videos in Droid Transfer, as well as other data types (Messages, Contacts, Call Logs and more)! This makes the software a staple for Android users who need to manage data between Android and PC. See it in action

Method 3 - How to copy photos from Android to MacMacs natively do not allow for transferring files from an Android device. For this reason, we'll need to use the free Android File Transfer app. This app allows you to browse and copy data from your Android phone to your Mac. Let's see how it's done:

Step 2: Transfer Photos from computer to iPhoneNow that you've copied your photos from Android to computer, you're ready to transfer them onto your iPhone.

Alternate options (no computer needed)Sync Android pictures with iPhone using Google PhotosCloud services are a great way to store your data - and the Google Photos app is a prime example of this. Advantages of storing data in the cloud are that it can save storage space on your device, and you can access that data from any device which has the internet. The process required for this method is really easy (but we'll break it down below). The only downside is that users get only 15GB of free storage in Google Photos (which can fill up really fast with quality photos and videos). If you require more space, you'll need to pay a subscription cost with Google. Without further ado, let's take a look at how to use Google Photos to sync your pictures between Android and iPhone...
Once the setup is complete, all photo from your Android and iPhone devices will be stored in Google Photos cloud storage in a collective library. You can view any of those photos and videos on either Android or iPhone. Also, whenever you take a new photo on either device, the photo will be uploaded to Google Photos, allowing you to access even new photos on your other devices. Transfer content from Android to iPhone with the Move to iOS appApple have their own app - "Move to iOS" for people wanting to switch to the Apple ecosystem from their Android rivals. The free app is a great way to transfer all content from your Android device over to a new iPhone. Crucially though, this method must be used during the setup of a new iPhone - not one which already contains content. So if you have already set up and started using your new iPhone, you may want to consider a different solution from this guide.

As such, we would recommend this method Take AwaysSo we've covered the best ways to transfer pictures from your Android device to your iPhone.
