In other words, there are multiple ways to transfer iPhone videos to an Android device. In this guide, we’re going to discuss 4 methods to help you learn how to transfer videos from iPhone to Android phone.

Transfer iPhone Video to Android via Drag & Drop

The simplest way to transfer iPhone videos to Android is to drag and drop. To get the job done smoothly, all you need is a USB cable and device drivers of the iPhone as well as Android so that both can be detected by your system. Once getting them, just follow the below steps to transfer your videos from iPhone to Android –

Step 1: To commence the process, download and install iTunes on your computer if you don’t have it. Else, ensure that your iTunes is up-to-date.

Step 2: Next, connect your iPhone to your computer using a USB cable. Once the computer detects your connected iPhone, go to the DCIM folder and select the videos you would like to transfer.

Step 3: Now, copy the selected videos to your local hard disc and place the videos into a new folder.

Step 4: Finally, connect your Android device using a USB cable to the computer, as well and drag & drop the video folder you created into your Android device.
