The Android operating system is the most popular mobile operating system in the world. Unlike the Apple iOS, the Android operating system is open, meaning that transfer of data is easy. However, large files such as photos and videos can be difficult to be transferred especially when using conventional methods of Android data transfer. One of the widely used means of data transfer for the Android smart phone is Bluetooth. Another method of transferring pictures from one Android device to another is using a computer and a USB cable. This is not the best answer to how to transfer photos from Android to android as it is time-consuming.
