Transfer contacts from Android to iPhone (Tutorial)

While Android is still king, iOS is a very important platform and at some point you may want to try Apple‘s mobile OS. We won’t judge! Hey, maybe you just want to have a secondary iPad or something like that. Regardless, you will probably want to take all your contacts with you, but you must remember these are two completely different platforms.

This is definitely not like switching between two Android devices, which can easily sync through Google‘s servers. It’s also important to note that transferring contacts isn’t super tough. There are multiple ways to share information between Android handsets and an iPhone. In this post we will show you some of our very favorite solutions.

Using the Move to iOS app

Did you know Apple had an Android app in the Google Play Store? Yes, Move to iOS one of the few Apple apps on Google’s storefront, alongside Beats and Apple Music.

Move to iOS is meant to help Android users… well, move to iOS. Despite all the hate it got at first, the application certainly does what it’s advertised to do. And it does it very well. It can migrate contacts, messages, photos, videos, bookmarks, email accounts and calendars straight to any iOS device.

When you are ready to transfer all your data, the iPhone or iPad will simply create a private Wi-Fi network and find your Android gadget. Enter the security code and the process will start. Simple as pie!
