How to Transfer Photos from Old iPhone to New iPhone

Due to the advanced camera of the iPhone, we can take beautiful photos without professional skills. These photos may be the most important files on iPhone because they record many important moments in life. If you have upgraded your old iPhone to a new one, you definitely want to transfer photos to the new device.

How to transfer photos from old iPhone to new iPhone? Here in this guide, we will show you 5 methods that can help you achieve the goal. Whether you want to transfer a large number of photos or several pictures, you will find a way. Here we go.

Way 1. Transfer Photos from Old iPhone to New iPhone

iCloud is not new to iPhone users. It is a built-in tool that can help us store and share data. However, there are only 5 GB of free storage space. There may not be enough space if you have a large number of photos that need to be transferred. But you can upgrade your storage plane.

1. Make sure you have logged in with the same iCloud account on two iPhones.

2. On the old iPhone: Go to Settings > Tap your name > Tap iCloud > Turn on iCloud Photos. When the iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi, it will upload photos to iCloud automatically.

3. On the new iPhone: Go to Settings to turn on iCloud Photos option > Choose Download and Keep Originals. When the iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi, it will download photos from iCloud automatically.

When iCloud Photos is enabled, all your photos will be uploaded to iCloud and appear on all your devices. Please not note when you delete one photo on one iPhone, it will be deleted on all devices.

Way 2. Transfer Photos from Old iPhone to New iPhone via AirDrop

AirDrop is also a built-in tool to help users share files between two iPhones. Unlike iCloud, it does not require two devices to be logged into the same Apple account, nor does it require a wifi connection. However, you may meet problems when you are trying to AirDrop a large number of photos.

Although there is no theoretical limit to the number of AirDrop, errors often occur when AirDropping more than a hundred photos. Lots of users have reported the “AirDrop multiple photos failed” issue. To make a smooth transfer, you can send files in smaller groups, less than 100 photos each time.

1.  Turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on two iPhones.

2.  Turn on AirDrop on both iPhones: Go to Control Center > Press and hold the network settings card > Tap AirDrop > Choose Contacts Only or Everyone.

3.  On the old iPhone: Go to Photos app > Choose the photos you want to transfer > Tap the Share button > Choose AirDrop > Select the name of the new iPhone.

4. On the new iPhone: A window will appear on the screen and you can tap Accept to save photos to Photos

Both iCloud and AirDrop can help you transfer photos from iPhone to another one wirelessly. However, both of these methods have disadvantages.

  • iCloud can only sync photos between two iPhones that are logged into the same account, in addition, it only provides 5GB of free space.
