If you use an Android Phone as a mobile device and MacBook for computing, you might be interested in knowing about different ways to Transfer Photos From Android Phone to Mac.

If you're concerned most about what your phone costs, you'll probably choose Android. That's because there are many Android phones that can be had for cheap, or even free. Apple's cheapest phone is the iPhone SE, which starts at $349. For those on a very tight budget, that may be the end of the discussion. Apple's AirDrop is a convenient way to send photos, files, links, and other data between devices. AirDrop only works on Macs, iPhones, and iPads, but similar solutions are available for Windows PCs and Android devices.

Transfer Photos From Android Phone to Mac

Apple's MacBook is equipped with a number of utilities that can help you transfer photos from Android Phone to Mac.

We are providing below three different ways to transfer Photos from Android Phone to Mac. You can use any method that appears easy and suits your Android device.

1. Transfer Photos From Android Phone to Mac Using Photos App

Perhaps the easiest way to transfer Photos From Android Phone or Tablet to Mac is to use the Native Photos App as available on your Mac.

1. Connect Android Phone to Mac using its lightning to USB cable.

Note: This should automatically open the Photos App on your Mac.

2. Unlock your Android Phone and open Notifications by swiping on the screen of your Phone.

3. On the Notifications screen, tap on USB charging this device.

4. On the next screen, select Transfer Photos (PTP) option.

Note: On some devices this may be labelled as Camera Transfer (PTP) Protocol.

5. Now, open the Photos App on your Mac (in case it is not already open).

6. In the Photos App, select your Android Phone in the left-pane under 'Devices' section. In the right-pane, select the destination for Imported Photos and click on Import All New Photos button.

Note: To transfer selected Photos, tap on the Photos that you want to transfer and then tap on Import Selected option.

7. Patiently wait for the Photos to be transferred from Android Phone to Mac.

2. Transfer Photos From Android Phone to Mac Using Image Capture

Another utility on Mac that can help you transfer Photos from Android Phone to Mac is Image Capture.

1. Connect your Android Phone to Mac.

2. Click on the Finder Icon located in the Dock on your Mac.

3. On the next screen, click on Applications in the side menu. In the right-pane, scroll down and click on Image Capture.

4. After Image capture is launched, select your Android phone in the 'Devices' section. In the right-pane, select Desktop or other place as destination for imported photos and click on Import all.

Login

The iPhone's TouchID fingerprint sensor makes bypassing the annoying lock screen a breeze. Some Android phones have a similar feature. Other Android phones have a 'Smart Lock' tool that uses face recognition or location to bypass the lock screen, but it's a less secure option.

Make a call

Favorite contacts are laid out much better in Android, smartly laid out according to the people you call most frequently. But FaceTime is the iPhone's killer feature.

Check the time

Both Android and the iPhone show you the time when you press the lock button. But many Android phones do time keeping better. Motorola, Samsung and HTC have smart covers and sensors that automatically show you the time when you pull the phone out of your pocket. Android also has a super-dim 'daydream' clock that stays on when charging on your nightstand.

Take a photo or video

There are terrific Android cameras, and there are awful Android cameras. The iPhone's camera is consistently great. Yet managing photos is a much better - and cheaper -- experience on Android. Google Photos gives you unlimited free storage.

Type

Winonx 1 6 – run windows applications on os x. Apple has finally begun displaying lowercase letters on its iPhone keyboard when you're not using capital letters. But Android's stock keyboard is still better than Apple's, including swipe gestures and -- most crucially -- punctuation on the same screen as the letters.

Use apps

Apple and Google both have fantastic app stores. But Android is far superior at organizing apps, letting you put important stuff on the home screens and hide less useful apps in the app drawer. Also, Android's widgets are much more useful than Apple's.

Get and Manage Notifications

The iPhone's active notifications let you respond from within the notification without opening the app - something Android lacks. Reformat sandisk usb mac. But Android lets you set which notifications are 'priority,' automatically sending them to the top of the list (and minimizing less important messages). It's also easier to clear Android notifications with a single swipe.

Listen to music and podcasts

Android has an excellent music-playing app in Google Play Music, which offers an impressive list of free, ad-supported music. Apple has Apple Music, which has no free option but integrates impressively well with your iTunes downloads.

Check email

Android uses Gmail as its main mail app, no matter what email service you use. It's pretty bare-bones if you don't use Gmail, but Android's 'material design' lets you browse folders or switch accounts from any screen with a quick swipe to the right. Unlike Android, Apple's mail app automatically recognizes your Exchange settings, but it takes a lot more taps to navigate.

Get directions

Google Maps is the best mobile app ever designed. It's available on both the iPhone and Android, but it's only used natively on Android. That means Siri can't use Google Maps - only Apple's improving but still inferior Maps app.

Find and manage contacts

Android's contacts are much easier to navigate, and its large photos make it easier to find who you're looking for. The iPhone automatically connects with Facebook and other social networks to populate your contacts' photos. Most Android phones require a separate app to do that.

Search

Search is Google's bread and butter, but Apple's Spotlight searches more stuff than Google does: email, podcasts, notes, reminders, calendar events, texts and voice memos. Still, Siri's 'proactive search' is limited: it only surfaces contacts, apps, nearby attractions and news. Macx video converter pro 6 4 5 inch. 'Google Now' works like a Vulcan mind meld, eerily searching for flight reservations, sports scores, transit routes and news stories before you think of them.

Set phone to vibrate

The iPhone has a physical switch. On Android, you have to log into your phone, press the volume button, and tap the bell to set it to vibrate. Some Android apps, however, let you automatically set your phone to vibrate in certain situations - when you arrive at work, for instance.

Talk to your phone

Android's voice 'assistant' types as you talk, and works offline. But Siri has a fun personality and understands natural language a bit better than Android.

Send a text

Android's default Messenger app is pretty and perfectly serviceable, but iMessage lets you send free texts and voice messages to other Apple customers - even from your Mac. Google Hangouts lets you combine texts and Google Hangouts messages in a single app, and send them from your computer if you have a Google Voice account. But it still feels like a work in progress.
