How to transfer files from iPhone to Android
By the WispFile team · Updated 24 September 2026
AirDrop only works between Apple devices, so to send files from an iPhone to an Android phone use something both can open, such as a browser link. With WispFile you add the files in Safari on the iPhone and open the link on the Android phone. There is no app to install and no account on either side.
Key facts
- AirDrop is Apple-only; Quick Share is Android and Windows.
- Open the link with the QR code: point the Android camera at it.
- Photos and videos are sent as the original files.
- Safari support is still in testing; tell us if something breaks.
Step by step
- On the iPhone, open wispfile.com in Safari.
- Add photos, videos or files.
- Show the QR code and scan it with the Android phone’s camera.
- Download on the Android phone; keep the iPhone’s screen on until it finishes.
Things to know
- iPhones pause the browser when you switch apps; stay on the page.
- On the same Wi-Fi the transfer is usually local and fast.
- WispFile is verified end to end in Chromium-based browsers; Firefox and Safari are in testing.
