Connect Tecno and iPhone to the same Wi-Fi
Make sure both mobile phones are connected to the same Wi-Fi so they can communicate in the local network to move files from one to another directly without any data leaving the local network. Many Wi-Fi routers support both 2.4G and 5G bands, which means you can choose to connect to either 2.4G Wi-Fi or the 5G Wi-Fi. They are two separate networks. Both Tecno phone and iPhone should connect to the same one.

File transfer via Wi-Fi is the most straightforward, you don’t have to take any extra effort. Tap on Join Group to open a new screen like this.
All phones in the same network will be scanned and displayed on this screen with your current device in the middle. You should find both Tecno phone and iPhone here. Tap on the iPhone name or avatar to connect to it.
