Part 1. How to Transfer Video from iPhone Camera Folder to Android

For the videos in your iPhone camera folder, you can handily transfer them to your Android phone with a traditional drag-and-drop method using a Windows computer. It is a straightforward way to move your files without installing third-party apps, though it is best suited for small or few video files.

Step 1.
Plug both your iPhone and Android phone into the USB ports of your Windows computer using reliable USB cables.

⚠️ Important: Unlock your iPhone screen and tap "Trust" (or "Trust This Computer") when prompted. If you skip this, your computer will show an empty folder and won't be able to access any videos.

Step 2.
Open "This PC" (or "Computer"), double-click your "iPhone" device, and navigate through "Internal Storage" > "DCIM". Inside, you will see one or more folders named like "100APPLE", "101APPLE", etc. Open these folders to find the specific camera videos you want to transfer.
Step 3.
Select the videos you want, and press "Ctrl + C" to copy them. Next, go back to "This PC", open your "Android device" under the portable devices list, navigate to its "Internal Storage" > "DCIM" folder (or any folder you prefer), and press "Ctrl + V" to paste them. Once the transfer is complete, you can view these iPhone videos directly on your Android phone.

1) This method only allows you to transfer videos saved in your iPhone's local camera roll. 2) Large files or high-definition videos (like 4K) may cause the transfer to freeze or disconnect due to Windows driver limitations. 3) iPhone videos are often saved in HEVC (H.265) format. Some older Android devices might only play the audio without video playback unless a compatible media player is installed, or convert the iPhone video to MP4 before transferring.
