The Move to iOS app is the easiest and most universal way

As you already know, many methods and tricks are used to transfer contacts and other information from an iPhone to a smartphone or tablet for Android: some for contacts, others for files, etc. In the opposite situation, everything is much simpler: most users prefer to get by one single application that makes it possible to transfer everything at once. Well, or almost everything, namely:

• Your Apple device must be running iOS 9 or 10.
• If you are going to transfer bookmarks from Google browser Chrome, it must also be updated to the latest version.

During the transfer, both devices (sending and receiving) must be connected to a power source (to avoid damage to the content due to an unexpectedly dead battery) and to a private Wi-Fi networks. In addition, there must be enough free space on the receiving gadget.

Transfer order:

• On Apple device: Go to the “Programs and Data” section and select “Transfer data from Android”.

Mark in the list what you are going to transfer to the iPhone: camera roll (photo and video recordings), messages - messages, Google Account— Gmail account data (calendar and notes), Google contacts — telephone and mail contacts and bookmarks — browser bookmarks Google Chrome.

• When all data has been successfully transferred, the message “Transfer Complete” will appear on the Android display. To exit the program, click “Done”.

• Next, pick up your iPhone or iPad again and complete the setup by following the instructions on the screen. This is where it all ends.

Transfer data from Android to iPhone manually

Move to iOS helps you transfer most of what you need from Android to iOS, but, unfortunately, not everything. So, it is impossible to transfer with its help musical recordings, user files, e-books, documents, contacts of other accounts (for example, Yandex) and applications. All of this, with the exception of the last one, can be transferred manually using iTunes features and iCloud service.

Multimedia data

To transfer multimedia files (music, video and photos) to any in an accessible way connect your Android gadget to your PC and copy necessary information on hard drive computer. Next, connect your iPhone to the same computer and authorize it in iTunes.

After connecting, do iTunes synchronization graphic content and music:

• Open the "Photos" section. At the top right of the window, check the “Synk Photos” checkbox. From the “Copy photos from” list, select the folder in which the photos transferred from Android are saved. Below, indicate the content you want to sync: all photos and albums or just selected ones. Of these - only favorites, only those containing videos, etc. When you have finished selecting, click the “Synk” button at the bottom of the window.

Move to iCloud storage Drive necessary files and folders with documents. After that, you will be able to view them on your iPhone and iPad.

The availability of documents does not guarantee that they will be opened on your Apple device, because many of them require special programs. There is no point in transferring applications from Android, since iOS does not support them, but, fortunately, in the vast majority of cases you will find an analogue of such programs on App Store.

Contacts from other email accounts

In the article about transferring information from iPhone to Android, we talked about how to export phone and address books from iCloud in vCard format. However, vCard files can not only be exported, but also imported into iCloud from any mail account, for example, Yandex, Mail or Gmail.

To do this, log in to the source service, go to the contacts storage section and save them as a vCard file. Next, open a similar section in iCloud, go to “Options” (they are hidden behind the gear icon) and select “Import vCard”.

All that remains is to specify the path to the file that you just saved. After that address book from another device will open on iPhone.

Moving files from Android to Android is quite simple. All data can be sent to external card micro sd, and then install it into a new device. It is not possible to copy personal information from one operating system to another (for example, from Android to iOS) using this method. Let's look at how to transfer user data and files from Android to iPhone or vice versa.

Ways to move information from Android to iOS

After copying the information to the virtual disk, it will be accessible from a computer or other mobile device. Now, to transfer data to iOS, you just need to link it to the same account.

The service will help you transfer photos and videos from one phone to another Google Photo. IN Android given The application is standard, and on iOS you will need to download it. To copy, just link both smartphones to one account and make minimal settings in the Google program Photo.

Exactly the same steps must be taken to download music to the iPhone.

Moving data from iPhone to Android

Transferring data from iPhone to Android is done in almost the same way as in reverse. You can use the virtual phone to copy your phone book, notes, and calendar. Google drive. This is perhaps the easiest way to transfer from iOS to Android, although there are other transportation methods (Dropbox, Outlook, Yandex, etc.).

You have seen the light at the end of the tunnel. You've left the arms of Apple and joined the happy world of Android, and you're left with just one question: what about data? How to transfer everything from iPhone to Android?

We can help with this. The first solution we offer you is a program that does all the work for you, but it costs money. The remaining solutions are ways to transfer data from iPhone to Android manually.

One-touch solution: MobileTrans from Wondershare

If you're looking for one centralized solution to transferring data from iPhone to Android (or Blackberry, or Symbian device, for that matter), it's hard to go past MobileTrans.

MobileTrans is the easiest to use program that will allow you to transfer contacts, messages, calendars, photos, videos and music between devices.

Once you have a license, you can move all your contacts, calendar entries and media files, restore backups, restore or delete data on your old device. Please note that one user license can only be used on one computer.

How to Move Data from iPhone to Android Using MobileTrans

We moved all the data from iPhone 6 to Galaxy S6 to show you how simple the process is. As mentioned earlier, this functionality will only be available to you when you purchase a license.

1 Launch the MobileTrans program and connect both devices using a cable to your computer. You will see that each of the phones will occupy its own side of the screen in the first window that opens in front of you.

2 You might want to enable USB Error Correction , and also accept the RSA key on your Android device or click " I trust" on the computer you are connecting to (in the case of Apple).

3 You can swap devices in the program window, if their location is incorrect.

4 The program may ask you to uncheck the “ encrypt the backup copy of iPhone » V iTunes settings, if you previously selected this encrypted option. Once you have completed the data transfer, you can select this option again (note that you can also first erase all data from the device you are transferring to).

5 Once you have connected both smartphones correctly, all you need to do is check the boxes next to the types of data you want to move: contacts, messages, calendar, call log, applications, photos, music and videos.

Of course, you can't transfer apps from iPhone to Android, but you get the idea. There was no video on our iPhone or text messages, so we didn't check those two boxes.

6 Click Start Copying, after which you can relax and unwind. Depending on the amount of data on your old smartphone, the transfer process could take up to several hours, so make sure you have a power source nearby just in case.

7 Once the data transfer is complete, you can disconnect both smartphones from the computer.

Applications using the cloud

If you use cloud apps like Gmail, Spotify, or Facebook, you don't have to do much at all: just install the app, enter your username and password, and then continue where you started. Transferring all other data is a little more complicated, and we'll talk about that now.

Contacts

If you don't already have a Google account, create one: you'll need one for almost everything you do on Android. Once you create an account, back up your iPhone and log in to iCloud.com.

Click on Contacts, select the ones you want to transfer and click on the small gear icon in the lower left corner of the screen. One of the options would be Export vCard. Clicking this button exports the selected contacts in electronic business card format.

Now, log in Gmail account and go to Gmail>Contacts. You'll see an option to import contacts in a column on the left side of the screen. Click on this option, select the file you just created and leave the rest to Google.

Calendar

It won't be so easy here, but still not at all difficult. Go to iCloud on your iPhone and this time open the app Calendar. You'll see a list of your calendars on the left and a small icon wireless connection opposite each of them.

Here we will need to create a public calendar, which we can then import into Google Calendar. To do this, click on Calendar and copy the link you see on the screen.

Open a new window or tab in your browser and paste the link, but don't press Enter right away: you'll need to change "webcal" to "http" in the link text. Change it and then press Enter, after which your computer should start loading a calendar file in .ics format with a long and forgettable file name.

Repeat the process for each of the calendars you want to transfer.

Now you need to go to Google Calendar on your Android smartphone and click on Other Calendars in the column on the left. Click on the arrow that appears and select Import Calendar and then select ics file, which you just downloaded.

Now click on the button Import» will add events to the Google calendar of your choice (if you have several). You need to repeat the process for each of the calendars.

WhatsApp Test Messages and Chats

Please note that in at the moment you cannot transfer iMessage or WhatsApp chats from iOS to Android and vice versa without using questionable third-party applications. We can only recommend saving your chats to iCloud for now.

E-mail

The easiest way to manage your email from iCloud on your Android smartphone is to use the pre-installed mail application by requesting IMAP access from Apple. And with SMTP access you can still send emails from your old postal address Apple.

iCloud Documents

If you've stored your files in iCloud, you can access them by logging into iCloud.com, clicking iCloud Drive, and selecting the desired folder– but remember that some file types, such as Pages files, will not be compatible with non-Apple programs. If you store files in proprietary formats such as Pages, convert them to RTF or to Microsoft Word before transferring.

Bookmarks

And again the most in a simple way transferring files turns out to be iCloud use. Go to Settings>iCloud in your iPhone and make sure that Safari browser included; now open iCloud for Windows on your PC or System Preferences>iCloud, if you have a Mac and do the same. At this stage we make sure that our bookmarks on the iPhone are synchronized with the PC or Mac.

On Windows, the next step is to go to the section Bookmarks>Options and then select Firefox or Chrome. Click Add and then Merge, and the app will prompt you to download the iCloud Bookmarks extension for your browser of choice. This extension will allow you to sync bookmarks from Safari with Chrome or Firefox.

If you chose Chrome, the next step is quite simple: open Chrome on your computer and sign in Google account, which you use on your smartphone, after which your bookmarks are synced automatically. On a Mac, open Chrome and click the menu icon on the right, then select Bookmarks>Import bookmarks and in Settings select Safari as a source.

Firefox will be a little more difficult on both PC and Mac. If you have a Mac, you need to open Firefox, select Bookmarks>Show all bookmarks and then click on the star icon on the toolbar. This will bring up the import and backup options. Select " Import data from another browser" and then select Safari.

Both on PC and Mac on next stage you need to go to the panel Firefox tools and choose Synchronization settings. This will allow you to log into your Firefox account (if you have one) or create one (if you don't have one).

Once you have entered all detailed information, you can open Firefox on your smartphone and select Options>Synchronization>Paired Devices to transfer bookmarks to Firefox on your smartphone.

Photo and video

The easiest way to transfer photos from iPhone to Android is a simple “copy-paste” (if you have a Windows PC). Connect iPhone to computer via USB, open My Computer and find iPhone icon. Open it and find the folder DCIM. This is where the photographs are located; just select them and drag them into a folder on your PC.

You can then connect your Android smartphone to your computer and transfer files to it from your computer. If you're in a hurry, you can connect both smartphones at the same time and transfer files directly from one to the other, but we recommend transferring files via PC so you have backup copies of your photos.

On Macs everything is a little different, although in general the principle is the same - just instead of a section My Computer use the function Image Capture to transfer your photos.

Once you're done with that, you can connect your Android device and transfer the photos from the folder (or wherever you put the photos) there.

Music

This is where things get a little more complicated. You will need to install Apple's iTunes and Google Music Manager. First of all, with using iTunes Make sure the music is actually on your computer - if you see a small cloud icon with a downward-facing arrow on top of it, it means the music hasn't been downloaded. Make sure that the music you purchased is also on your computer (it may be hidden - go to Preferences>Store>Show iTunes purchases in the cloud).

Once you're sure everything is in place, open Google Music Manager and under Settings select Upload songs to Google Play. Set iTunes as the source and let Google Music Manager do its thing.
