5 Best Ways to Transfer Photos from HONOR to iPad Step-by-Step

If you own both an HONOR smartphone and an Apple iPad, you might want to transfer your photos from HONOR to iPad for a better viewing experience, editing, or backup. However, because HONOR runs on Android and iPad runs on iPadOS, direct transfer is not as straightforward as between devices of the same operating system.

However, you don't need to panic. In this guide, we will walk you through five effective ways to transfer photos from HONOR to iPad. Whether you want to move a few images or your entire photo library, you'll find a method that suits your needs.

Part 1. How to Transfer Photos from HONOR to iPad via Move to iOS

Move to iOS is an official migration tool launched by Apple, which allows you to transfer data such as photos, contacts, messages, and more from an Android device to an iOS device. Its main features are security and official support, without the need for third-party platforms.

However, it is important to note that this method only applies to a newly set up iPad or one that has been restored to factory settings and cannot be used on a device that has already been in use.

How do I transfer photos from HONOR to iPad? Follow the steps below:

Step 1. Make sure both your HONOR phone and iPad are connected to the same stable Wi-Fi network and are fully charged.

Step 2. Turn on your iPad and go through the initial setup process.

Step 3. On the "Apps & Data" screen, select "Move Data from Android".

Step 4. On your HONOR phone, open the Google Play Store, download, and install Move to iOS.

Step 5. Launch the app, tap "Continue", and accept the terms and conditions.

Step 6. On your iPad, tap "Continue" to display a 6- or 10-digit code.

Step 7. Enter this code on your HONOR phone in the Move to iOS app.

Step 8. Select "Photos" and any other data you wish to transfer, then tap "Next".

Step 9. Wait for the transfer to complete and finish setting up your iPad.

Phone Transfer is a professional data transfer software that works across Android, iOS, and computers. Unlike Move to iOS, it allows you to transfer photos from HONOR to iPad even if the iPad is already in use.

Additionally, it can not only transfer data from HONOR to iPad, but also from iPad back to HONOR.

Part 3. How to Copy Photos from HONOR to iPad with iTunes

iTunes is Apple's official device management tool. Although it doesn't directly support connecting Android devices, we can use a computer as an intermediary to first transfer HONOR photos to the computer and then sync them to the iPad via iTunes. This method is suitable for users who are already accustomed to managing their devices with iTunes.

Here is how to copy photos from your HONOR to your iPad with iTunes:

Step 1. Connect your HONOR phone to your computer via USB cable.

Step 2. Open File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) and copy the photos from your HONOR device to a folder on your computer.

Part 4. How to Sync Photos from HONOR to iPad via Google Photos

Google Photos is a cross-platform cloud storage service that allows you to upload photos from your HONOR phone and access them on your iPad using the same Google account. This method is wireless and convenient, but it depends on your internet speed and cloud storage availability.

Here is how to sync photos from HONOR to iPad via Google Photos:

Step 1. On your HONOR phone, install Google Photos from the Google Play Store.

Step 2. Sign in to your Google account and go to "Settings" > "Back up & sync".

Step 3. Enable backup to start uploading your photos to the cloud.

Step 4. On your iPad, download Google Photos from the App Store.

Step 5. Log in with the same Google account used on your HONOR phone.

Step 6. Browse your photos directly in the app or download them to your iPad for offline use.

Part 5. How to Share Photos from HONOR to iPad Using Email

If you only need to transfer a few photos from HONOR to an iPad, email can be the simplest method. It's easy and doesn't require additional apps, but it's limited by email attachment size (usually 25MB).

Here is how to send photos from HONOR to an iPad through email:

Step 1. On your HONOR phone, open the Gallery and select the photos you want to send.

Step 2. Tap "Share" > "Email".

Step 3. Enter your own email address and send the message with the attached photos.

Step 4. On your iPad, open your email app and find the email you sent.

Step 5. Download the attached photos and save them to the Photos app.

Final Thoughts

Transferring photos from HONOR to iPad doesn't have to be complicated. Whether you choose Apple's Move to iOS for a new device, iTunes for a computer-based sync, Google Photos for cloud access, or email for quick sharing, there's a method for every need.

However, for the fastest, most flexible, and most user-friendly solution, Phone Transfer is highly recommended, as it allows you to easily transfer photos from HONOR to iPad in bulk, without resetting your device or relying on internet speed.
