Why Can’t I Transfer Photos From iPhone to iPad?
Despite being one ecosystem, there can be synchronization issues. Here are some of the problems and the solutions:
-
Connectivity Issues: it is one of the most common reasons why you can’t share your photos between iPhone and iPad. Both devices should be connected to the same Wi-Fi (the Wi-Fi connection should be stable).
Solution: check the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings on both your iPhone and iPad to make sure that they are connected to the same network and that Bluetooth is enabled. If yes, restart the devices, toggle the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings on and off.
-
Full Storage: low memory on devices can also be a problem. If there isn’t enough free space for new photos, the transfer process may fail or stall.
Solution: check the available storage space on both devices and free it up both on your iPhone or iPad.
-
iCloud Photo Library Syncing: if iCloud Photos is enabled on your iPhone and iPad, then the sync should be automatic. But if you’re still unable to see the photos on your iPad, it could be because of some delays or iCloud syncing issues.
Solution: open the Photos app on both devices and wait a little while for the synchronization process to complete. If you still don’t see the photos on the iPad, refresh the app and manually disable and enable iCloud Photo in your device settings.
If you tried the solutions above, but you still can’t sync photos between your iPhone and iPad, please, try CopyTrans Photo – the easiest way to manage and organize the media on your iPhone, iPad and PC.
