Moving from Android to iPhone

Switching from an Android phone to an iPhone involves several methods for transferring your data. Apple provides a dedicated app, "Move to iOS," which is the easiest and most comprehensive method for transferring many types of data.

  • Using the "Move to iOS" App: This is Apple's recommended method. It wirelessly transfers contacts, message history, camera photos and videos, web bookmarks, mail accounts, calendars, and some free apps from your Android device to your new iPhone. Learn more about using the "Move to iOS" app.

    • Important: The "Move to iOS" app needs to be used during the initial setup of your iPhone. If you've already set up your iPhone, you'll need to erase it and start over to use this method (Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings).
    • Make sure both devices are connected to Wi-Fi, and the Android device is plugged into a power source.
  • Transferring Contacts: In addition to the "Move to iOS" app, you can manually transfer contacts.

    • Google Account: If your contacts are synced to your Google account on your Android, they will automatically sync to your iPhone when you add your Google account to the iPhone (Settings > Mail > Accounts > Add Account). Check information about "Google Account" sync.
    • SIM Card: You can copy your contacts to the SIM card on your Android and then insert the SIM into your iPhone. Your iPhone will then give you the option to import the contacts from the SIM.
  • Transferring Photos and Videos: Besides "Move to iOS," there are other methods.

    • Google Photos: If you use Google Photos to back up your photos and videos on Android, simply download the Google Photos app on your iPhone and sign in. Your photos and videos will be available. See the information about using "Google Photos" for backup.
    • Computer Transfer: You can connect both your Android and iPhone to a computer and manually copy the files between them.
  • Transferring Music:

    • Streaming Services: If you use streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music, your music library will be available on your iPhone once you sign in.
    • Computer Transfer: You can copy your music files to your computer and then sync them to your iPhone using iTunes (on Windows) or Finder (on macOS).
  • Transferring Calendars: Similar to contacts, if your calendar events are synced to your Google account, they will sync to your iPhone when you add your Google account to the iPhone.

  • Transferring Apps: The "Move to iOS" app can transfer some of your free apps. For paid apps, you'll need to download them again from the App Store on your iPhone.

  • Messages: "Move to iOS" transfers SMS message history. It can't transfer WhatsApp or other messaging app data. For those, consult the specific messaging app's documentation. See the details about "Transferring Apps".
