4 Best Apps to Transfer Files from


Android to iPhone
MEHVISH (HTTPS://WWW.GUIDINGTECH.COM/AUTHOR/MEHVISH12/) 22 Jul 2019

If you are an Android user, you will have at least one friend who owns an iPhone. Chances are you might have
Android to iPhone. When you interact with both devices, many times, you would want to send les
(https://www.guidingtech.com/24518/free-sites-send-large- les-no-sign-up/) from your Android phone to the
iPhone.

Typically, you would be emailing them or uploading to cloud services like Google Drive or Dropbox
(https://www.guidingtech.com/migrated-dropbox-google-drive-what-learned/) and then downloading them on
iPhone. However, you don’t have to follow such tiresome techniques for you can use le transfer apps.

Whether you want to share party pictures with your friends, send a video to your sibling, or an audio le to you
colleague, le transfer apps come handy between Android and iPhone and vice versa as well.

Here you will nd four such apps to transfer documents, video, audio, photos, etc. Let’s check them out.

1. FEEM V4
One of the simplest apps to transfer les is Feem v4. It’s my top favorite app. It doesn’t require internet. However,
you need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network on your Android and iPhone. Once connected, open the
Feem app, and you will see the weird device names listed there. Sadly, the names can get confusing. Even though
you can change it, the feature is limited to the pro version.

Simply tap on the device with which you want to share any le. Then select the le and it will appear on the
second phone. The interface resembles a chat app (https://www.guidingtech.com/blockchain-based-chat-
messenger-apps/). That’s because it even lets you chat with other phones. The messages vanish automatically
after 48 hours.

While the interface of Feem may look slightly different than the other le sharing apps
(https://www.guidingtech.com/feem-vs-shareit-comparison- les-transfer/), I feel it’s simple and uncomplicated.
You can share all types of les such as photos, videos, audio, etc. using this app. Available on Windows and
macOS (https://feem.io/) besides Android and iOS, Feem has a web version too.

Pros:

Simple interface
Built-in chat
Resumable le transfers

Cons:

Phone names might confuse you

2. XENDER
Another app that I like is Xender. It also comes with a simple, user-friendly interface. Unlike Feem, Xender shows
all the les on the home screen of the app under different categories. You just need to tap the send and receive
buttons to transfer the les. Further, you get a dedicated button to connect to iPhone.
It also doesn’t require an internet connection. However, the phones should be on the same Wi-Fi network. You can

share documents, audio, photos, videos,
Tech and more. With a built-in player, you can play the received les right
inside the app.

Fortunately, there are no ads or pro version to distract you. All the features are available in a single, free app. It’s
also available on PC (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/xender/9nblggh1dqtv) and has a web version
(http://web.xender.com/).

Pros:

No ads

3. SHAREIT
I’m pretty sure you must have heard its name. SHAREit is one of the popular le-sharing apps available on
Android and iPhone. SHAREit creates a hotspot network to transfer les without usingt your mobile data. Similar
to Xender (https://www.guidingtech.com/shareit-vs-xender/), you need to tap on the Send and Receive button on
respective devices and then select connect to iPhone.

Again, you can transfer all types of les. It even lets you search for the les. After it transfers all the les, you can
play the media les in the built-in player. Other notable features (https://www.guidingtech.com/shareit-tips-tricks-
android-ios/) include group sharing and share zone. Fortunately, you can change both the name and avatar in the
free version too.
I am not a fan of this app now. That’s because it takes too many steps to transfer les. Other than that, it is loaded

with ads.

Pros:

Extra features such as share zone and group sharing

Cons:

4. ZAPYA
Next in the line is Zapya. It’s a combination of Xender and SHAREit. With the ability to transfer all types of les,
Zapya offers multiple ways to connect with an iPhone. You can shake to connect or use QR code. Similar to
SHAREit (https://www.guidingtech.com/shareit-zapya-comparison/), you get group sharing feature too.

To transfer les, just select them and hit the send button. If the iPhone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network, it
will appear in the available phones. Tap on it and you will receive the sent le immediately.

SPECIAL MENTION: SEND ANYWHERE


Another app that you should try is Send Anywhere. It works on both Android and iOS. Not only that, you can use it
on any platform. It creates a link that you need to share with the receiver. The receiver simply needs to open the
link to download the sent le. Yes, it requires internet.

FILE TRANSFER MADE EASY


While the controversial debate of what’s better — Android or iOS will never stop, we are glad that app developers
do not discriminate. Had they made these apps only for their preferred operating system, we would still have to
use the old ways to transfer les between the two. Take a moment to be grateful for these apps.
