AirPhoto lets you send photos and videos from your iPhone to any device — no app needed on the receiving end. All the receiver needs is a web browser. Scan a QR code, and your photos arrive in original quality on any PC, Android phone, or tablet. ■ Two ways to share - Share on the same Wi-Fi Blazing-fast transfer to devices on the same network. Your iPhone becomes a tiny server; the receiver simply opens a page in their browser and downloads. - Share over the Internet (NEW) Send to someone far away. Photos travel directly from device to device with encryption — they are never stored on a server in between. ■ Three steps either way 1. Pick your photos and videos 2. Tap a share method 3. The receiver scans the QR code — transfer starts ■ Highlights - No app install for the receiver (any browser works) - Original quality — no recompression - Internet sharing is peer-to-peer: your photos are never stored on our servers - Add photos straight from the Photos app share menu (NEW) - No sign-up, no account Perfect for moving photos to your computer, sharing with family and friends on the spot, or migrating to Android. Note: Depending on network conditions (e.g., both devices on cellular), a direct internet connection may not be possible. In that case, please use local sharing on the same Wi-Fi.
