Despite great strides in digital imaging and device interconnectivity, it's not easy to share photos between devices, especially those running different platforms. Users need to know how to transfer photos and videos from iOS to Android.
Many have not stopped snapping and capturing life's precious moments ever since device makers furnished mobile phones and tablets with top-of-the-line cameras. When easy Internet connectivity came to the smartphones, many also started sharing their photos to family, friends and, in many cases, the world at large. Thanks to modern devices, such as the iPhone and Android phones, we can take and share snapshots of what's happening around us, shares Android Authority.
Moving Photos And Videos From IOS To Android Can Be Tricky
Transferring media, like pictures and videos, onto an Android device is not an easy task. However, it's not unconquerable either. Using an Android device requires a Google account. The user needs to connect the Android device using its USB cable to the computer and all the files can be viewed on "My Computer" on the PC.
Copy images to the PC. Unplug the Android device, then connect iPhone to PC using its USB cable. When detected, right click on the iPhone icon> select Import pictures and videos. The PC will scan the iPhone for images and videos in the Camera Roll> then click Import to begin copying the found videos and images. This will be copied to My Pictures folder; then unplug the cable.

Next is to copy the saved files to the Android phone. Connect the Android phone using its USB cable. Open Android storage, go to sub folder where images and videos are usually saved -- the DCIM.
Copy the images and videos in this folder or into a sub folder and the photos and videos from iOS will be viewed on the Android device in much the same way as the iPhone or the iPad. Videos ripped from DVDs or captured by users themselves will also play, although they may have to install a third-party media player app, according to TechAdvisor.
