Part 1. How to Transfer Photos from iPhone to iPad with iCloud

If you want to transfer photos from iPhone to iPad automatically, iCloud is a good choice. This official cloud-based storage service can help you store data and make them accessible on all your devices.

However, this method also has disadvantages. For example:

● You need to use the same Apple ID on your iPhone and iPad. If you want to transfer photos to a friend's iPad, it's not that easy.
● iCloud only offers 5 GB of free storage space to store your data. If you have a lot of photos, you will run out of space very quickly.

Fortunately, iCloud is not the only way to transfer photos. If you want to transfer photos from iPhone to iPad with different Apple ID, Way 1 in Part 2 can be the best choice.

Way 1. How to Sync Photos from iPhone to iPad with iCloud Photos

iCloud Photos can help you sync all photos from iPhone to iPad.

● On iPhone: Go to Settings > Tap your account > Tap iCloud > Tap Photos > Turn on iCloud Photos (or iCloud Photo Library).

● On iPad: Do the same above to turn on iCloud Photos.

When your devices are connected to Wi-Fi network, iCloud will automatically start the sync.

Way 2. How Sync Photos from iPhone to iPad with iCloud Photo Stream

Photo Stream can help you sync photos in the most recent 30 days (up to 1000 photos. After that, they’re removed).

● Turn on Photo Stream on iPhone and iPad: Go to Settings > Tap your account > Tap iCloud > Tap Photos > Enable Upload to My Photo Stream.

It will not count against your iCloud storage. When you leave the Camera app and connect to Wi-Fi, photos are automatically synced between iPhone and iPad.
