WeChat is a popular chatting app known for its excellent messaging and calling features. In addition to communication, it can also help you transfer files between your phone and computer, making your life much easier. Nowadays, WeChat supports almost all major platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and even web versions.
In this article, we will show you how to transfer files between Android/iPhone and to computer with WeChat. We'll introduce two practical methods using WeChat, followed by a more efficient way to transfer various files, such as images, videos, call logs, Word documents, and music files, between your mobile device and computer with ease.
Using the web version of WeChat to transfer files between smartphones and computers is chosen by more people. With this way, you can transfer photos, videos, PDFs, documents, and other files between your Android phone or iPhone and computer without downloading any software on your computer. All you need to do is:
Go to the web page of the WeChat web version and scan the QR code with your phone to log into WeChat on the website. Click "Log In" on your phone to confirm login to Web WeChat. Then, you can use the WeChat app via the web browser.
Step 1. Browse your phone storage to find the file you want to transfer to your computer.
Step 2. Select the file you want to transfer and tap on the share button. Then, choose the WeChat icon.
