We already know several ways to transfer data from iPhone to Android mobile, which is a useful guide for those switching from one operating system to another. But what about those who simply want send photos to a friend, family member or colleague without changing mobile?
There are many ways to transfer photos and videos between two mobile phones, but we are left with five options because they are the fastest and with which you can send content without loss of quality. These are methods that are also fully valid for switching from Android to iOS or from iOS to Android, but also from iOS to iOS and from Android to Android. Let’s see them.
Google Photos, ideal for sharing entire albums
This application, preinstalled by default with other Google services, can be very useful not only for sharing photos or videos at a given time, but also for creating shared albums in which other people can also upload their own content, which remains in the cloud and with the possibility of also downloading it to have it offline.
To create an album of this type, simply go to the tab sharingchoose the option Create a shared album. Once there you can name the album and add all photos and videos by selecting them from other albums. Once ready, simply click Share and choose the option that suits you best to share this album with other people. Of course, keep an eye on the size because Photos doesn’t offer unlimited storage.

Google Drive, creating a download link
It may not be the most comfortable method, but uploading your photos and videos to Google’s cloud can be a good option to be able to quickly share them with other people. It can even be used to share a Full album which can then be downloaded. As standard we have up to 15GB free in this service, so you must have it.

To upload the file to Google Drive, simply open the application, click on the icon + and then in Move up. There you will access all the files on your mobile, can choose the photo gallery and thus download the photos and videos you want.

Telegram, the messaging application allows you to reach up to 2 GB
Telegram is not only a great messaging app that is increasingly used, but it allows you to attach large files and can be used for much more than just sending messages. Through this application you can send photos or videos up to 2,000 MBbeing able to maintain the highest quality.
Now the procedure so that they do not lose quality This is not the same as what is normally done to send photos and videos. You need to click on the clip button at the bottom left and then click Archive and there, choose Gallery, then select the content you want to send. The other person will receive the full file, will have to download it first to save it in their gallery or any other place.

WhatsApp, with a maximum of 2 GB per file
After limiting the sending of files to 100 MB for a long time, WhatsApp increased the limit to 2 GB. However, as is already happening on Telegram, You must attach the photos and videos as a file so that the quality is not lost. To do this, you must have saved it in the files application on your mobile from the gallery and then attach it as a document by clicking on the clip-shaped button. This way you can ensure that it is not sent compressed and is of the highest quality.

WeTransfer, an old acquaintance for this action
Surely you have already heard of WeTransfer, as it is one of the best-known tools for sending large files. This is an online tool that does not require registration and, although it offers different rates for sending large files, it offers a maximum of 2 GB free.
To use it you will only need an email. Or maybe two: yours and the recipient’s. When you enter the WeTransfer website, you must first attach the photo or video from the mobile files app, then choose a title (or leave the one that is), add a message (it’s optional) and You will arrive at the last steps, in which you can choose whether to create a link to send to the other person and ask them to download it or whether you want to send this link directly to their email.
