If you want to move files from your Android phone to an iPhone, Xender is a great way to do it. Xender is a free app that helps you send files fast between different phones. You don’t need the internet or cables to use it, and you can transfer many kinds of files like photos, videos, music, and even apps.
In this blog, I will show you step-by-step how to transfer files from an Android phone to an iPhone using Xender. It’s easy, and you can follow these steps to move your files in just a few minutes.
Step 1: Download and Install Xender
First, you need to have the Xender app on both your Android phone and iPhone. Here’s how to do that:
- On Android: Go to the Google Play Store. Type “Xender” in the search bar and download the app. Once it’s downloaded, install it.
- On iPhone: Open the App Store on your iPhone. Search for “Xender” and download the app. Install it just like you would with any other app.
Now, you have Xender on both phones, and you're ready to transfer files.
Step 2: Open Xender on Both Phones
After you have installed Xender, open the app on both your Android and iPhone. You’ll see options like “Send” and “Receive” on the screen.
- On your Android, tap the “Send” button. This will allow you to choose the files you want to send to the iPhone.
- On your iPhone, tap the “Receive” button. This will help your iPhone connect with your Android phone to get the files.
Step 3: Connect Android and iPhone
Now, you need to connect the two phones. Xender will help you connect them directly. Here’s what to do:
- On your Android, after tapping “Send,” the app will start searching for nearby devices.
- On your iPhone, tap “Receive,” and it will start searching for devices too.
- When the iPhone finds the Android phone, you’ll see the name of the Android device on the screen. Tap on it to connect.
Once the phones are connected, you’re ready to send the files.
Step 4: Choose the Files You Want to Transfer
Now that the phones are connected, you can choose which files to send from your Android to your iPhone. Xender allows you to transfer many kinds of files, such as:
- Photos
- Videos
- Music
- Documents
- Apps (Only from Android to Android, not to iPhone)
On your Android phone, browse through your files and tap on the ones you want to transfer. You can select multiple files at once. After you select the files, tap the “Send” button to start the transfer.
Step 5: Accept the Files on the iPhone
After you hit “Send” on the Android, your iPhone will show a message asking if you want to receive the files. You must tap “Accept” on your iPhone to start receiving the files.
Step 6: Wait for the Transfer to Complete
Once you tap “Accept,” the file transfer will begin. You can watch the progress of the transfer on both phones. Xender moves files very fast, so it shouldn’t take long unless the files are very large.
For example, a small photo might only take a second or two to transfer, while a large video might take a little longer.
Step 7: Check the Files on the iPhone
Once the transfer is finished, the files will be on your iPhone. You can find the photos and videos in the Photos app. For other types of files like documents, you might need to check the app that can open them, such as Files or another app you use.
If you send music, you can check your music app to find the songs. However, apps themselves won’t transfer from Android to iPhone because the two systems are different.
