Part 7: FAQs About Transferring Photos from iPhone to Android

Q1: Can I AirDrop photos from iPhone to Android?

No, you cannot directly AirDrop photos from an iPhone to an Android device. AirDrop is a proprietary feature developed by Apple that uses a combination of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to create a peer-to-peer connection for file sharing. While it is incredibly convenient for Apple users, it's a closed system and not compatible with Android or other non-Apple devices.

Q2: How to Bluetooth pictures from iPhone to Android?

Unfortunately, you cannot directly transfer photos from an iPhone to an Android phone using Bluetooth. Apple's iOS operating system significantly restricts Bluetooth functionality for file transfers to non-Apple devices. While iPhones use Bluetooth for accessories like headphones and smartwatches, and for features like AirDrop (which only works between Apple devices), they do not support the generic Bluetooth File Transfer Profile (FTP) that would allow direct photo sharing with Android devices.

Q3: Will photo quality be preserved during the transfer?

Yes, if you use iReaShare Phone Transfer, Switch to Android, and Send Anywhere, SHAREit, AirDroid Personal, and Google Photos in "Original quality" mode, you can transfer your photos with original quality. However, some apps or compressed cloud backups may reduce quality if set to "Storage Saver" or similar.

Conclusion

It doesn't have to be complicated to transfer photos from iPhone to Android. iReaShare Phone Transfer can help you directly transfer your photos to your Android even if you complete the setup, and the transferred photos will not replace your current ones. All your pictures will be transferred and saved in original quality.

You can also use cloud storage services like Google Photos, and other wireless transfer apps like Send Anywhere, etc. No matter which option you pick, you'll be able to enjoy your cherished memories on your new Android device in no time.
