Can’t send photos from iPhone to Android

I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max. It 98 percent of the time won’t send a photo to an Android phone. I have tried troubleshooting settings (SMS/MMS/text) and tried with and without wifi and bluetooth. SO frustrating!

This should fix it.


  1. Go to photos app and select photos that you want to send.
  2. Press the share button.
  3. At the top of the share menu press options.
  4. Select iCloud link in order to send to android devices as they do not support iMessage.


Then send to the person as normal either through messages or email.

They will then be able to download the photos from iCloud.
