The other alternative option for moving photos from Android to iPhone is by using a computer with iTunes.

  • Move the selected videos and pictures to your computer, then sync them with iTunes. Now sync your new iPhone with iTunes.
  • Connect your Android device with the PC. Next, select the photos and videos that you want to move. Make a separate folder for these files on your desktop for simplicity.
