(8 votes, average: 4.00 out of 5)You are moving from Samsung to Apple and wonder how to transfer videos from Android to iPhone? You’ve come to the right place. Forget about sending videos by email, we’ve got a better idea that will also save you time!
While transferring videos from Android to PC is relatively easy, iPhone might give you a hard time before it finally lets you import. Luckily, we’ve made an app called CopyTrans Filey that will make your iPhone much more cooperative!
Here is how to send videos from Android to iPhone in 2 steps:
First, transfer the videos from Android to PC
-
Connect your Android device to computer via a USB cable and find it in the list of connected devices in File Explorer.
-
Now, find an Android folder containing your videos and drag and drop it to PC.
TIP: As a general rule, Android phones and tablets store movies in the “Movies” folder, while videos you take on the device camera are saved to the “DCIM” folder in mp4 format.
-
The folder(s) containing Android phone/tablet videos are copied to the PC.
Then transfer the videos to iPhone
Now that you have all Android videos on your PC, you may want to transfer some (or all) of them to iPhone. We’ll show you how to do it using our free app, CopyTrans Filey.
You will also need an iOS video player. For the purpose of this tutorial, we used VLC for iOS, but there are many other iOS video players like MX Video Player that can do the job.
NOTE: we do not recommend using the default iOS Videos app, as it only supports a very limited array of video file formats. VLC for iOS supports most file types, including mkv, avi, rmvb, flv, wmv, mov, mp4, ts, mpg and divx.
