How To Airdrop Pictures Iphone To Iphone

If you use both iPhone and iPad, you'll likely want to share files between them. This is especially true for photos. While your iPhone is a perfect device for taking beautiful pictures, it's more convenient to view and edit photos on your iPad. Let's see how to transfer photos from iPhone to iPad in two easy ways.

AirDrop not working? Share photos with FileDrop!

Your iPhone and iPad have a built-in AirDrop feature to share files with nearby devices. Unfortunately, you may often find AirDrop not working when you desperately need it. As a technology, AirDrop also has its limitations. You can share individual files, but there's no possibility to transfer entire folders.

That's why our free Documents app has introduced FileDrop to let you transfer files between iOS devices without tears. FileDrop works with all file formats and sizes. You can even share entire folders and maintain the folder structure while copying your files.

How to transfer photos from iPhone to iPad with FileDrop:

Turn on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on both your iOS devices.
Install and open Documents on your iPhone and iPad.
Tap … More on the file or folder you wish to share.
Tap the icon of a nearby device to share files with it.
