In addition to transferring images to another iPhone, the program also offers photo sharing between your phone and computer. The application will allow you to clone all photos without synchronizing with iCloud by simply clicking a mouse button.

- 2 smartphones must use the same Apple ID;
- To upload photos you will need to connect to a wireless network;
- You need to make sure you have enough storage space in iCloud to store your images.
To transfer pictures using a cloud service, you need to follow these steps sequentially:

- It will take some time for the images to be uploaded to iCloud Library, after which you can access them from the All Photos album on your smartphone.
To move photos to another phone using iTunes, you'll first need to copy them to your computer and then import them to the other iPhone. Mac users can transfer photos from their phone to their computer using a USB cable. You'll need to launch iPhoto if it doesn't open automatically and select the images you want to transfer. Next, click “Import” or “Import Selected” to transfer photos from iPhone to Mac. Besides iPhoto, you can also use Preview, Image Capture or Aperture.
Windows users can export photos from their phone to their computer using the AutoPlay feature. To do this, you need to connect your smartphone to your PC using a USB cable. Next, click “Import photos and videos,” select a destination and click “Import.” Transferring pictures to the new iPhone is carried out using a USB cable. You need to launch iTunes if the program does not turn on automatically. Next, click the “Device” button in the upper right corner, select “Photos”, “Sync images from an application or folder”, “Apply”.
If a user imports photos from iPhone to Mac using Apple tools like iPhoto or exports photos from phone to AutoPlay, then only Camera Roll Photos will be able to be transferred, but the person will fail when trying to copy Photo Stream and Photo Library. When you sync images from your computer to iPhone, all previous photos in the album will be deleted.
