AirDrop is a service in Apple’s iPhone mobile devices. It allows you to transfer your files among other iOS devices or Mac Computers over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, without using mail or a mass storage device. AirDrop protocol transfers files between a Mac and an iOS device as well as between two 2012 or newer Mac computers, and which uses both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

There is no restriction on the size of the file which AirDrop will accommodate. With this sharing feature of Airdrop, you can easily transfer your images. So, to learn how-to, follow the steps mentioned below.

Transfer Photos Using iCloud

iCloud is a cloud storage and cloud computing service from Apple Inc. iCloud enables users to store data such as documents, photos, and music on remote servers for download to iOS, macOS or Windows devices, to share and send data to other users. iCloud also provides the means to wirelessly back up iOS devices directly to iCloud, instead of being reliant on manual backups to a host Mac or Windows computer using iTunes.

Using iCloud you can first sync all your images to the iCloud server and then using the same iCloud ID on your other iPhone download it there. So to do so follow the steps mentioned below.

• First Login to your iCloud account on your first device (sender’s iPhone).
