With the help of Apple’s “Move to iOS” app, it is easier than ever to transfer photos, contacts, calendars, and accounts from an old iPhone or iPad to an old Android phone or tablet. Apple’s first Android app, connect your old Android device and new Apple device through a direct Wi-Fi connection and transfer all data.
While the move to the iOS app transfers a lot of your data, it doesn’t transfer your apps as they’re not compatible, music, or any of your passwords. Additionally, you can only transfer data from an Android phone or tablet to an iPhone or iPad running iOS 9 or higher. If you’ve got the new iPhone, you’ll have no problem.
How to move your data from Android to iPhone or iPad with Move to iOS
- Set up your iPhone or iPad until you reach the screen titled “Apps & Data”.
- Tap the “Move Data from Android” option.
- On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Play Store and search for Move to iOS.
- Open the Move to the iOS app listing.
- Tap Install
- Choose Open after it’s installed.
- Tap Continue on both devices.
- Select Agree and then Next on the Android phone or tablet.
- On your Android device, enter the 12-digit code displayed on the iPhone or iPad.
After entering the code, the Android device will connect with your iPhone or iPad over a peer-to-peer Wi-Fi connection and determine what data will be transferred.
Your Android phone or tablet will transfer the selected data over to your iPhone or iPad and place the appropriate content into the correct apps. The two devices will disconnect, and Android will prompt you to take your old device to the Apple Store, where they’ll recycle it for free.
Once the transfer process is complete, tap on Continue Setting Up iPhone or Continue Setting Up iPad on your device and carry on setting up a new Apple ID or logging into your existing one.
