In today's rapidly evolving digital world, sharing media files with our friends and family is just a click away. However, the process can be a bit challenging when it comes to transferring videos between different operating systems. Picture this: you've captured a stunning video on your Android device, but your friend owns an iPhone. Well, bridging the gap between these two platforms is easier than you imagine, and here in this post, we will walk you through how to send videos from Android to iPhone in 5 best ways. Read on!
How to Send Videos from Android to iPhone with Email
One of the simplest and most direct solutions to send videos from Android to iPhone is using Email since most people already have an email account set up on their phones, and it doesn't require installing any additional apps or signing up for new services. But note that Email services have a file size limit for attachments. For instance, Gmail allows a maximum attachment size of 25MB. If your video file exceeds this limit, you won't be able to attach it to an email. Additionally, some email services may compress large attachments, which can lead to a loss of video quality. How to send videos from Android to iPhone with Email:
Step 1. Open the Email app on your Android, and here I will take Gmail as an example.
Step 2. Tap the Compose button on the bottom right of the screen, and in the new email window, fill in the recipient's email address in the 'To' field.
Step 3. Enter a subject, write a message in the body of the email if needed, and tap the Paperclip icon to attach the video you need to send.
Step 4. Once you've attached the video, tap the Send button to send the email.
Alternatively, you can go to the Gallery app, locate the video you want to send, and tap and hold it until a menu appears. From the menu, select the Share or Send option, and choose Gmail or other email apps. In the new email window, fill in the recipient's email address, and if desired, you can also add a subject line and a brief message. Once finished composing, tap the Send button to send the video from Android to iPhone.
