The war between Android and Apple has always been there since the beginning of time. Both platforms have a huge user base and the problem is that it is sometimes very hard to unite the two types. We face many difficulties when we try to sync these devices and try to send something from one device to another. In this article, we discuss how to send video from iPhone to Android.
