Apple and Google announced their cooperation to launch a new data transfer tool that helps users transfer their photos from the Google Photos application to iCloud Photos with ease. This step comes after the launch of a similar tool in 2021 that allowed images to be transferred in the opposite direction, and we wrote a detailed article about it at the time entitled “A new tool from Apple to transfer photos from iCloud to Google Photos“You can check it out.
This collaboration is part of a larger project called the “Data Transfer Project,” which is an open source initiative that aims to facilitate the transfer of data between different platforms over the Internet. Those in charge of the project announced that this new service will be available to everyone within the next week.
Both Apple and Google have published support articles detailing the transfer process from Google Photos to iCloud Photos. Apple says the service will be available in more than 240 countries and regions around the world. The service is not available for children's accounts or Apple accounts managed by different organizations or bodies. You also cannot import photo and video data to iCloud if you have Google's Advanced Data Protection enabled.
What does this service mean to you as a user?
◉ You can transfer your photos and videos from Google Photos to iCloud easily and without any complications.
◉ Your photos will not be deleted from Google after transferring them.
◉ You do not need to download images to your device, as the transfer takes place directly between the two services.
◉ The process may take from a few hours to several days, depending on the size of your photos and videos.
How to move Your photos from Google to iCloud؟
◉ Go to the site Google Takeout.
◉ Follow the steps to start exporting your photos from Google Photos.
◉ Choose “Apple – iCloud Photos” as the transfer destination and sign in with your Apple account.
◉ Click “Allow” to give Google permission to add photos and videos to iCloud.
This step from Apple and Google makes it easier for you to move between the two services without losing your photographic memories. If you're thinking about moving from Google Photos to iCloud, this is your chance to do so easily and safely.

An off-topic question. I want a dedicated application to help in the calculation of the fifth for Shiites. Do you know an application, even if it is from outside the Apple Store and regular Google Play?
Hello dear Abbas 🙋♂️, as far as I know, there is no application dedicated to the calculation of the fifth for Shiites. You can use general calculation applications, which are available in the Apple Store and Google Play, and do the calculation yourself. I hope this was useful to you 😊.
If this should be clarified in the article, be advised before you use the service that you have enough space on your iCloud account to accommodate all the photos on Google Photo.
Hello Mohsen Abu Al-Nour 🙋♂️, Just as I mentioned, it is essential that you have enough space on your iCloud account to accommodate all the photos and videos you wish to transfer from Google Photos. This observation is very important and I thank you for raising it 🙏. Always make sure to check your available iCloud space before starting the transfer. 😊👍
When transferring photos from Google to iCloud. What about space? Meaning that Apple's iCloud account only allows 5 GB, so what if your photos on Google Photo are much larger than that? Can you still transfer photos and videos?
Hello Mohsen 🙋♂️, If the available space in iCloud is less than the size of the photos and videos you want to transfer, you will need to purchase additional space from Apple. Otherwise, you will not be able to transfer all the photos and videos. This is normal when using cloud storage services. 🌥️💾
It is said that with iOS 18 we may dispense with Jameel Mail, also affiliated with Google, because of the features that Apple added in this version. I hope that this will happen. Personally, I want to forget Jameel.
Hello, son of the country! 🙌🏻 Indeed, Apple is adding great features in iOS 18, and this may make many people change their minds about using Gmail. But we will not be able to confirm until we see the final version of the system. Just remember, in the world of technology, nothing is impossible! 😉🍏
Don't be fooled, Minv. I told you secondary features, meaning secondary features, other than that. Don't let me tell you the details.
Using Braille on the device has become very practical, so we asked the blog to write an article or guide on using this secondary feature.
I understand your opinion
Thank you 👍🏻✌🏻
Haha, who deleted the AI's response, you know I'm kidding
Peace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you
I often hear people who are blind, and I am one of them, of course, but I hear a lot of them here on the blog commenting on articles and saying, “Write articles for us regarding voice commentary.”
Add to your information. Apple considers these features to be secondary features and not major ones. In short, blind people discover them on their own. My personal analysis.
Update 17.6.1. Your expectations when it will be officially released
We are very close to the official update, and I found that the last letter of the version number is 17 points, 6 Beta 4
The letter is a
iCloud is not available in the service
There is a feature in the iOS 18 system, which is the voice-over tutorial. This feature is for people who are beginners in voice-over and who are using voice-over for the first time. It teaches you how to navigate in voice-over and how to write, as most blind people know. There are three styles of writing, standard writing and touch typing. And direct touch typing. This feature I have tried is very useful
And also, as most people who have iPhone
It teaches you how to go to the home screen and how you can open the control center. It is not limited to voice commentary as well as the notification center.
Indeed, thanks to the tutorial it will be easier for new users, whether visually impaired or blind, to learn it and learn to use the device quickly.
As for writing styles, this is what distinguishes the voiceover program from other programs in other systems such as Android, as it provides the user with methods that make him comfortable in writing, but if he is a learner of the Braille language, he can write in it without using the keyboard and it can be activated by double clicking within two weeks on the edges of the device screen. In horizontal position
This feature was previously activated using the rotor, and in this update it is now activated in the previously mentioned method.
Peace be upon you, Von Islam, thank you for this article
We hope to write an article about the new features in ease of use, especially VoiceOver voice feedback, as it has brought useful improvements, especially in the Braille input screen feature and the Braille command screen.
This feature previously helped me greatly in writing, and now in this update it has become not only for writing, but rather a tool for controlling the device such as touch gestures and keyboard commands.
Is the Google application safe to transfer photos and documents?
Peace be upon you. A question outside the article. I am burdening you, but I want to know if we enter a channel. What is meant by being a certified member of this channel on YouTube, that is, on the YouTube application? I mean.
iCloud is not listed as an option for transferring data?!!
Hello Amr 🙋♂️ Indeed, iCloud is available as an option to transfer data from Google Photos. You can easily achieve this via Google Takeout. Choose “Apple – iCloud Photos” as the transfer destination and sign in with your Apple account. Give Google permission to add photos and videos to iCloud and the process will be done 🚀. Enjoy transferring your photos! 📸 If you do not find the option, it may not be activated in your country yet
