How to transfer photos from one iPhone to another

Sooner or later, the owner of an iPhone is faced with the need to transfer photos from his gadget to another smartphone. In today’s article we will look at all the ways that will help you transfer a photo to another Ipnone.

AirDrop

If the phone to which you want to send the file is close, then using AirDrop will be the most rational option. Before the procedure, make sure that Bluetooth is activated on both devices.

Make sure in advance that modem mode is disabled on both devices. Otherwise, file transfer will not be possible.

1. To begin, select the pictures you are going to send.
2. In the lower left corner, find the icon, which is a square with an up arrow. Click on it.
3. In the menu that appears, find the phone to which you want to transfer the file. In addition to your phone, you will be asked to send the file to various applications and instant messengers.
4. Once the download is complete, turn off Bluetooth.

DropBox

With this application you can transfer any files, including photos. If you do not have this utility installed, you can download it for free from the AppStore.

1. Launch the application. At the bottom of the screen, find the "Files" tab. Click there, then “Create Folder” and tap on the three dots at the top of the screen.
2. Come up with a name for the folder and click “Create”.
3. Go to the folder you just created and click on the “Create” tab at the bottom of the screen. Then “Upload photo”. Select the desired pictures and click “Next”.
4. Next, you need to choose which folder to upload the photos to. Select the newly created folder and click “Upload”.

Automatic uploading of photos will begin. The download time may vary depending on the number and quality of photos, as well as Internet speed.

After a successful download, go again to the “Files” tab, find our folder with photos and click on the three dots at the bottom of the folder. Click “Share”.

In the window that appears, enter the Dropbox login of the person whose phone you want to transfer the photo to. Instead of a login, you can use your email address or phone number. Click send.

The user to whom you just sent the photos will receive a notification that you have permission to read and edit files in this folder.

Messengers

For this method, any social network that supports sending messages is useful. For example, let’s take the social network VKontakte.

1. Go to your page.
2. Click "My Messages" and find a conversation with the person you want to send the file to.
3. Open the dialog and click on the paperclip icon on the right side. After this, your gallery will automatically open. Select all the necessary photos and click “OK”.
4. Click on send message and wait for it to complete.

After this, the user will receive your file and will be able to view or download it. If you change your mind about sending a photo, but the message with the file has already been delivered, you can click on “Delete message for everyone.” Or click on an already sent photo and find “Delete” in the additional menu.

iMessage

Another application that allows you to send photos and other files to other Apple users is iMessage. It’s easy to use, so let’s look at the detailed instructions.

But first, make sure that the messenger is activated on both devices. Go to your phone settings and find the Messages tab. There, find the line where it says iMessage. Then activate the application if it is not already enabled.

1. After that, go to messages. In the top right corner, click the new message icon.
2. In the “To” column, select the user to whom you want to transfer the files.
3. After that, click on the camera image and in the menu that appears, click on “Media Library”.
4. Select the required files and send a message.

Backup copy

If you are changing your iPhone to a new model, then it is important for you to save all existing pictures. To avoid having to select every photo and wait for the download to complete, you can back up all the files on your device. When purchasing a new phone, this feature is necessary so as not to lose important media files from your previous device.

Once the backup is created, it must be transferred to the new device. Connect your phone to your computer, open iCloud and click on the gadget control menu. This can be done by clicking on the phone icon.

Next, click on the “Browse” tab and in the menu that appears, find the “Restore from copy” button.

Select the required copy and click “Restore”. After the download is complete, you can disconnect the phone from the PC.
