"I own a Samsung Galaxy S8 and an iPad. Both of them are my favorite electronic devices. Sometimes I can't carry two devices at the same time. I need to sync photos from the Samsung phone to the iPad which has a larger screen. This way I can better backup and enjoy these precious photos. However, Android and iOS are two completely different systems. Does this mean I have to transfer pictures one by one? This is something I cannot bear. Is there a better way to help me? Thanks in advance."
