How to Transfer Data from Iphone to Android

Switching from an iPhone to an Android device can seem daunting, but with the right tools and methods, it can be a smooth process. This guide will walk you through the steps to transfer your data effectively.

Pre-check

Before we start transferring, you need to do some pre-checks to ensure the process goes smoothly:

Make sure the Wi-Fi is turned on for both phones.
Ensure both phones are charged to more than 60% or are plugged in.
Verify that there is enough storage available on your new Android device.

After completing these steps, we can get started.

This method requires an iCloud account. If you don’t want to use iCloud, skip to Method 2.

How to Transfer Data from Iphone to Android.

On your iPhone:

Go to Settings.
Sign in with your Apple ID at the top.
Tap on iCloud.
Tap on iCloud Backup and then Backup Now.
Select the data you want to move to your Android device. Only select what you want to transfer.
Turn off Find My iPhone and Find My Network. Start the backup process.

On your Android device:

Go to Settings.
Scroll down to Accounts and Backup (this might be in a different menu depending on your device model).
Tap on Bring Data from Old Device.
Tap on Receive Data.
Choose iPhone or iPad and then Get Data from iCloud Instead.
Enter your Apple ID username and password.
Allow the connection on your iPhone and enter the verification code on your Android device.
Select all the data you want to transfer. Be sure to tap the arrow and select all data; otherwise, it will only copy the last 30 days of photos. Tap Transfer.

Be patient, as the speed of data transfer depends on the size of your data. Once done, you can check your photos, videos, and other data on your Android device. Photos on your Android phone will be sorted by time order, just like on your iPhone.

Select your Android device’s name on your iPhone.
Enter the PIN number displayed on your Android device.
