I have tried to find out how to get photos transmitted from my wife’s Android phone into my iPhone?

The only hidden method found is for her to attach photo files to an email to me. That is impractical due to e-mail rules of allowing less that two attached files or the attempt will not be capable to send!?

An suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!! 😁

Email is the obvious method.

Details depend on which email system is used.

Another method is to upload the photos to the cloud and then email/text a link. I use that method to send photos to my family even though all of us {right now} are iPhone owners.

Email or file transfer are the only foolproof universal ways I have found.

Between my own phones I use ftp of the file to a local server, and then ftp to the destination phone.

There are many other methods, but email will normally transfer the image without substantial quality reduction. MMS (text) will reduce the resolution and greatly compress the image.

There are apps which promise to do the same, but my wife gets apped out, so we stick with email, or the FTP game.

Create a free ('basic' version to 2GB) dropbox for both users that can be accessed by both phones. The set-up admin is probably easier from a computer rather than finger pecking from a phone, but moving files around is easy from each phone.

You should be able to send and receive with a cloud drive like Google drive or microsoft onedrive, or Dropbox.

Which “cloud” should the source person upload to? .She has Android and is not an Apple IF iCloud user!

Easiest way is to simply send as a message. On the android phone, go into the gallery where the photo is and choose the share icon. Then select message and the recipient. Another option is to send via bluetooth directly to the iPhone. Again, using the gallery and share, select bluetooth. I can give you better instructions when I am back at home.

I use Microsoft's "one-drive", which I get free access to because of a 'free' "Outlook" account.
It allows anyone whom I mail or text a link to access the link.
I cannot speak about other locations.

Dropbox should work fine for both people. Or stick with email, as long as the total for the email is under 25mb most email providers should handle it.

In the midst of one of the "what small camera should I get?" threads here, I took an old iPhone, used it as a camera, and then I transferred that photo up to "one drive". It still had access to the cloud via our home wifi even though I could no longer use it as a phone since I had passed its number on to its successor.

Try the transfer app in the app store for apple and for the android in the app store for android. Here is how it works: http://phototransferapp.com/help/android/transfer_photos_from_idevice_to_android/
It works great, and as Paul says Dropbox also works as well.

I don’t know how to transmit by Bluetooth- can you help, please?

Thank you

Larry, you don’t have a wifi in your home? If not than use dropbox but it may cost you cellular data unless you have unlimited data plan. If you have wifi click the link I provided above for instructions.
