Sending Photos to iPhone from Android

• Apple to Apple has AirDrop
  
• Android to Android has Nearby Share and Quick Share 
  
• But nothing that will work natively between the 2 ecosystems.
  

Here are some ways to send photos from your Android phone to your friend's iPhone:
Using Built-in Features:

• Email: This is a simple and reliable option. Just attach the photos to a new email and send it to your friend's iPhone email address. Be aware of email attachment size limits – you might need to compress photos if they are large.
  
  
  
• Messaging Apps: Many messaging apps like WhatsApp, Viber, or Facebook Messenger allow you to send photos and videos for free over Wi-Fi. Both you and your friend need to have the same app installed.
  

Using Cloud Storage:

• Google Drive: Upload your photos to Google Drive and then share the album or specific photos with your friend. They can then download the photos to their iPhone.
  
  
  
• Apple iCloud Photos: not cross platform
  
  
  

Other Options:

• Bluetooth: While not the most efficient method, you can try transferring photos via Bluetooth if both phones are Bluetooth enabled and paired together. This can be slow and requires both devices to be in close proximity. Clunky but doable at a pinch.
  
  
  
• File Transfer Apps: There are several file transfer apps available on the Google Play Store that allow you to share files directly between Android and iPhone devices over Wi-Fi. These can be a good option for larger files or if you don't want to use cloud storage. They are a bit meh though.
  
  
  

Here are some additional things to consider:

• Image Quality: Some methods, like email or messaging apps, might compress the photos to reduce file size. This can affect image quality.
  
• Internet Connection: Uploading and downloading photos will require a stable internet connection.
  
• Mobile Data: Be mindful of mobile data usage if you're not connected to Wi-Fi. Uploading and downloading photos can eat up your data plan quickly.
