How to Transfer Data from Android to iPhone

According to Saed News, iPhone sales often exceed analysts’ expectations, and many users switching from Android to iPhone want to transfer their data easily. If you are also planning to move from Android to iPhone, you are not alone. This guide shows how you can do it simply.

Move to iOS App

If you are switching from Android to iPhone, you don’t need to worry about your photos or messages. Apple’s free Move to iOS app allows you to transfer them to your new device. The app is available on Google Play.

Data transferred by Move to iOS:

• Contacts

• Message history

• Camera photos and videos

• Web bookmarks

• Mail accounts

• Calendars

The app also automatically installs free apps available on iOS from the App Store. Paid apps are added to your App Store wishlist if available.

Requirements:

• iPhone: iOS 9 or later

• Android: Android 4.0 or later

• Supported devices include iPhone 5 or newer, iPad 4th generation or newer, iPad Mini 2 or newer, and iPod Touch 6th generation or newer

Preparing for Transfer

Before starting:

• If your iPhone is already set up, you must erase it (Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings), or transfer data manually.

• Make sure your iPhone has enough storage space.

• Connect both devices to Wi-Fi and power.

• Update Chrome if you want to transfer bookmarks.
