Lately · iPhone and Android
iPhone to Android, and back.
AirDrop only works between Apple devices, and text messages shrink photos and videos. Lately puts your photos in one album with a QR code or link that opens on anything: iPhone, Android, a laptop or a tablet. Everyone saves the originals straight to their own phone.
Coming to Google Play soon; until then, download the Android app directly. Version 0.2.3 (12), updated Sep 29, 2026. iPhone is coming soon.
How it works
Make an album from your photos
Pick the last 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours, and tap any photo you want to leave out.
Send the link or show the code
Text the link or let people scan the QR code. It opens in whatever browser their phone or computer has.
They save to their own phone
On iPhone, Save to Photos puts them in the camera roll. On Android, Save all to gallery puts them in the gallery. On a computer, Download all gives a zip.
Tips
- It works in both directions: Android friends can add their photos to the album for iPhone friends, and the other way round.
- Photos keep their original quality and file type, including HEIC from iPhones and videos up to 95 MB.
- Add a password or set the link to expire if the photos are private.
Questions
How do I send photos from an iPhone to an Android phone?
Put them in a Lately album and send the link or show the QR code. The Android user opens it in their browser and taps Save all to gallery. No app or account is needed on their side.
How do I send photos from Android to an iPhone?
Make the album on your Android phone and share the link or QR code. The iPhone user opens it in Safari and taps Save to Photos to put the pictures in their camera roll.
Do the photos lose quality?
No. Lately shares the original files, not the compressed copies that text messages send.
Can I share photos with a computer?
Yes. The album opens in any desktop browser, where you can download photos one at a time or all at once as a zip.
