How to Transfer Photos from iPhone to iPhone for Free Using Airdrop

If you want to transfer photos from iPhone to iPhone for free, your best bet is going to be Airdrop. Here are the steps you can follow to Airdrop from iPhone to iPhone.

The first thing to do in this method is to turn on Airdrop on both iPhones. You can do this from the settings of these iPhones or by going to the Control Centre and doing it from there.

Step 2. Select Photos

The next step is to choose the photos you want to transfer. You can either tap on each photo you want to transfer individually, or you can tap on one photo while holding down the tap button, then tap on the additional photographs you want to transfer. 

Step 3. Choose to Send Via Airdrop

Once you've selected all the photos you wish to transfer to the other iPhone, tap on the Send option, and select Airdrop. This option is usually shown in the first spot among all other sending options, so this part is really straightforward.

Step 4. Select the Recipient iPhone from the List

When you select Airdrop, you'll see a list of all iPhones within your iPhone's range that have their Airdrop settings turned on. From this list, select the iPhone you wish to transfer your photos to. 

Step 5. Let the Photos Transfer

Once you select the correct iPhone from the Airdrop, your photos will start to transfer. The transfer process may take a few minutes if you're transferring a lot of images, so wait for the transfer to complete.

How to Transfer Photos from iPhone to iPhone for Free Using Cloud Services

Cloud services like iCloud, Google Photos, and Dropbox are a great way to transfer photos from iPhone to iPhone, making it easy to transfer photos between iPhones wirelessly for free. Here's a step-by-step guide to transfer photos from iPhone to iPhone with iCloud.

Step 1. Select Your Photos

To use this method, you first need to select the photos that you wish to transfer to the other iPhone. 

Step 2. Upload Photos to the Cloud 

Once you have selected the photos, you need to upload them to the cloud. Now, depending on the Cloud service you're using, there are two ways you can do this. You can either back up your photos to the cloud, or you can upload them individually to the cloud. 

Step 3. Log in to the Cloud on the Other iPhone

After uploading your photos to the cloud service you use, you'll need to log in to the cloud on the other iPhone. If you're transferring these photos to someone else's iPhone, you can just share the link to the uploaded photos instead of logging in to the cloud on their iPhone.

Step 4. Download Your Photos

The last step in this method is to download the photos from the cloud to the iPhone. And this is how you transfer photos from iPhone to iPhone for free using Cloud services.

How to Transfer Photos from iPhone to iPhone for Free Using Email

One of the simplest cost-free methods for moving photos from one iPhone to another is via email. Here are the steps on how to email photos from one iPhone to another.

Step 1. Select the Photos from Your iPhone

The first step is to launch the Photos app on your old iPhone and pick the photos you want to upload to your new iPhone. You can tap on multiple images to select them all at once if you're transferring images in bulk.

Step 2. Select Email in the Share Options

After selecting all the photos, you want to transfer, go to Share, and select your preferred email app from the options. This will open up a new email composition with these photos attached. 

Step 3. Send the Email

Now, in the To/Receiver's section, type the email address you want to send these photos on. If there's an email ID already logged in on the second iPhone, that one will be your best bet. After entering the correct email address, hit send, and head on to the next step. 

Step 4. Download the Photos on the Other iPhone

Now, open up the email on the iPhone on which you're transferring these photos. In the email, you'll see the photos as attachments, which you can download by selecting the images and choosing Save Image from the drop-down menu.
