It is very common that we use our phones to take pictures, enjoy movies and listen to music, and as a result, many people have a large collection of photos, videos, and music saved on their phones. Suppose you are now changing your phone from iPhone 13/13 Pro Max to the latest release – Samsung Galaxy S22/21/20, I bet the first thing you will do is to transfer the previous media files to your new phone, music, photos or videos will not be excluded. Since maybe there are hundreds and sometimes thousands of photos, videos, and music stored in the old iPhone, plus the iPhone and Samsung are not supported by the same operating system, will you feel complex or time-consuming to transfer pictures, videos, and music from iPhone to Samsung Galaxy/Note? Don’t worry. In the following, I will share easy solutions respectively through using Samsung Smart Switch and Phone Transfer.
Method 1: Transfer Photos, Videos, and Music via Samsung Smart Switch
Photos, music, videos, contacts, calendar events, SMS, and more data type could be moved from iPhone to Galaxy phone with ease via Samsung Smart Switch. Moreover, it enables both the files stored in internal storage and SD card to be transferred effortlessly. I would hasten to add that it is available in both the desktop version and the mobile app, and the steps shown below are related to the mobile app version. With the help of the Samsung Smart Switch, transferring pictures, videos, and music from iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy phone and tablet can be done in two ways.
