How do I perform an Android transfer to iPhone?
Unlike transferring from iPhone to iPhone or Android to Android, going from Android to iPhone can be a little tricky if you’ve not done it before. With that in mind, it’s important to pay close attention to every step in the instructions below.
- Make sure your Android device is connected to Wi-Fi
- Start to set up your iPhone
- Go to apps and data on your iPhone
- Select move data from Android
- Open the move to iOS app on Android
- Wait for a code to come through on your iPhone
- Enter the code into your Android device
- Connect your iPhone to a temporary Wi-Fi network
- On your Android device, select the data you want to transfer
- Leave both devices as they transfer
- Once the loading bar finishes, tap ‘done’ on your Android
- Finally, you hit continue on your iPhone
Once you’ve finished those steps, you’re done. However, it’s worth remembering that transferring your data doesn’t remove it from the original device. So, if you’re planning on getting rid of the phone you’ve moved the data from, it’s still worth a factory reset before selling it or giving it away.
If you’re having trouble following our steps, you can watch the official Apple clip below on transferring from Android. There’s also the option to transfer data via cable, which you can check out in the next section.
Can I transfer data from Android to iPhone via cable?
If you’re having trouble transferring wirelessly, you can opt to make the Android to iPhone data switch with a cable. Of course, you’re first going to need a cable up to the job, which should be either USB-C to Lightning for iPhone 14 and older models, or USB-C to USB-C for iPhone 15 or newer devices. Once you have the cable, it’s just about following the steps above but without connecting wirelessly.
