There are many ways to transfer and share photos from your iPhone and iPad to other devices. Here is a new iOS app that helps you share pictures and links in a novel way.

Chirp is the new app we are talking about. It allows you to transfer photos, notes and links over the air. This app has been created mainly for iPhone and iPod touch, but it does work smoothly on iPad. The novelty is that the transfer takes place using sound.

You choose your photo, and if your recipient is running Chirp, you hit the button. You’ll hear a “chirp” sound. This means you have shared the content. It seems like a curiosity, but it is certainly an interesting one. But both the sender and the recipient must have installed the apps in their devices.

It’s an easy and quick way to transfer files between two devices. And also if you’re in a group or crowd setting this can be obviously the quick way to share a photo. Imagine this in a concert setting. The band on stage takes a picture of the crowd. Holds the iOS device up to the microphone and “chirps” the picture to the masses.

If you are not a fan of the iPhone photo streaming app or ‘bumping’, you must check out this app. You can download the app for free from the App Store.
