Part 1: Transfer Photos from iPhone to Samsung Using iCloud

To transfer data from iPhone to Samsung, you can get help from your computer, which acts as "copula". Now, let's check it out how it works.

Note: Before the process, you need to firstly go to "Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos" on your iPhone and then turn on iCloud Photo Library.

Step 1 Log In iCloud on PC
Go to the official website of iCloud and then log in with your Apple ID. On the interface, click on the "Photo" icon and then you can see the photos, which are synced from your iPhone.



Step 2 Download iCloud Photos You Want
Please choose a photo and when it is loaded on screen, click on the download icon on the upper right corner and this photo would be saved on your computer. However, you can not choose all the photos to download for one time. So you need to repeat the process one by one.

Step 3 Drag the iCloud Photos to Samsung Galaxy S8
Now, please plug your Samsung into computer via the USB cable. Then go to the location where your iCloud photos stored. Now you can move them to your device as you usually do.

Part 2: Transfer Photos from iPhone to Samsung with Phone Transfer

Except the way of using iCloud, you should never miss the method in this part. Phone Transfer is a very professional and effective program that can help to move photos on iPhone to Samsung. First of all, please download the Phone Transfer program on your computer.



Step 1 Plug iPhone And Samsung to PC
After you download and install the program, please run it on your computer and go to "Phone to Phone Transfer" option on the home page. Now, you need to connect both your old iPhone and Samsung to computer via the USB cables.



Note: If you want to extract the data from iPhone, then on the interface of the program, your iPhone needs to be located in the left pane. Click "Flip" to change the location of the two devices.

Step 2 Move iPhone Photos to Samsung Galaxy S8
Please select the "Photos" item and then click on the "Start Transfer" button to begin the transferring process.



Wait for a moment and the job is done!



As you see above, using cloud to move photos from iPhone to Android is not so "directly" as you need to firstly download them to computer and then copy the photos from it to Android device. But with Phone Transfer program in part 2, you can effectively transfer data including photos between different smartphone. Anyway, you can have a try yourself!
