Making the switch from Android to iPhone can be an exciting endeavor, but the process of transferring all your data can seem daunting. However, with the right approach and tools, you can seamlessly migrate your contacts, photos, messages, apps, and more from your Android device to your new iPhone.

In this comprehensive guide, we will explore two different scenarios: how to transfer everything from Android to iPhone during setup and transferring data from Android to iPhone after setup. By following these step-by-step instructions, you'll know how to copy everything from Android to iPhone with no data lose.

How to transfer everything from Android to iPhone - Move to iOS

Apple has made the process of transferring files from Android to iPhone more streamlined by introducing a dedicated Android app called "Move to iOS." With this app, you can effortlessly migrate various types of data, such as contacts, messages, photos/videos from the Camera Roll, mail accounts, and calendars, from your old Android device to your new Apple device. The app establishes a direct Wi-Fi connection between the two devices, ensuring a smooth and secure transfer experience.

📌 It's important to note that Move to iOS can only be accessed during the initial setup of your new iPhone. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to transfer data from Android to an iPhone after the setup process is complete, there are alternative methods available that can assist you in accomplishing this task.

Step 1. Download the Move to iOS app on your Android device from the Google Play Store > Ensure that both your Android and iPad are connected to power and that Wi-Fi is enabled on your Android.

Step 2. Set up your iPad until you access the App & Data screen > Select the "Move Data from Android" option.

Step 3. Launch the Move to iOS app on your Android device and follow the instructions until you reach the "Find Your Code" screen.

Step 4. On your iPad, tap "Continue" when prompted with the "Move from Android" screen > A code will appear. Enter this code on your Android device.

Step 5. On your Android device, you will see the "Transfer Data" screen > Choose the content you wish to transfer and wait for the process to complete. The duration of the transfer will depend on the size of the files.

 

How to transfer everything from Android to iPhone after setup
