Transferring photos from an Android device to an iPhone can be a daunting task, especially if you’re not familiar with the process. But fear not! In this tutorial, we’ll guide you step-by-step on how to transfer your precious memories seamlessly.
Gather Your Tools
Before we dive into the transfer process, let’s make sure you have everything you need:
- An Android device with the photos you want to transfer
- An iPhone with sufficient storage space
- A USB cable to connect both devices
- The latest version of iTunes installed on your computer
Step 1: Connect Your Android Device to Computer
To begin the transfer, connect your Android device to your computer using a USB cable. Make sure to unlock your Android device and enable file transfer mode.
Step 2: Copy Photos from Android Device to Computer
Once connected, open the file explorer on your computer and navigate to your Android device. Locate the folder where your photos are stored (usually in the “DCIM” directory) and select the desired photos.
Note: If you have multiple folders or albums containing photos, it’s recommended to create a new folder on your computer and copy all the relevant photos into it for better organization.
Step 3: Launch iTunes and Connect Your iPhone
Now it’s time to switch gears and focus on your iPhone. Launch iTunes on your computer and connect your iPhone using a USB cable.
Step 4: Import Photos into iTunes
In iTunes, select your iPhone from the list of devices. Navigate to the “Photos” tab and check the box that says “Sync Photos.”
Note: If you’re concerned about overwriting existing photos on your iPhone, make sure to select the option that suits your needs under the “Copy photos from” dropdown menu.
Step 5: Select Photos to Sync
Next, choose the folder or album where you’ve copied the Android photos on your computer. Select the desired photos and click “Apply” or “Sync” to start transferring them to your iPhone.
Step 6: Wait for the Transfer to Complete
Depending on the number and size of the photos, the transfer process might take some time. It’s important to keep both devices connected and not disconnect until the transfer is complete.

Now you can enjoy your favorite memories on your iPhone. Don’t forget to double-check if all the transferred photos are intact and in their proper albums on your iPhone’s Photos app.
Tips for a Smooth Transfer:
- Organize: Before transferring, organize your Android photos into specific folders or albums for better management.
- Delete Duplicates: Remove any duplicate or unwanted photos from your Android device before transferring them to save space on your iPhone.
