To have a successful data migration from Android to iPhone, whether of contacts, messages, music, videos, photos, bookmarks, or WhatsApp chats, one needs a third-party tool. Move to iOS, Google Account, and Tenorshare iCareFone for example, are tools of this kind. Read on to know how to use the three tools to satisfy your different needs of transferring all data from any Android Device to iOS.
Transfer Everything from Android to iPhone 8/X with Move to iOS App
Move to iOS is a useful tool designed for new iPhone users who need to transfer all their data in the old Android phone to their new iPhone completely without selection. And to complete the data transfer with this software, make sure you have connect your Android phone to Wi-Fi. Besides, to avoid power-off during transfer, you are advised to plug both phones into power. Here is how:
Step One: In your new iPhone setting, stop at the “Apps & Data” screen and select “Move Data from Android” in the menu.
Step Two: Open Move to iOS in your Android phone and choose “Continue” >> “Agree”, and choose “Next” in the Find Your Code screen.
Step Three: Choose “Continue” on the Move from Android screen on your iPhone, and then you will see a code appear on the screen. Enter the code on your Android phone and the Transfer Data screen will show up.
Step Four: On you Android device, choose all the data you wish to transfer to your iPhone and tap “Next”. The time it takes to complete data transfer depends on the volume of your transferred data.
Sync Contacts from Android to iPhone 8/X with Google Account
Contacts may be the most important phone contents for smart phone users. Loss of them or failure to transfer them from one device to another could bother users much. Either happened, the worst thing is that you have to ask each one of your friends their numbers and add them to your new iPhone one by one. Luckily this will hardly be possible since now you have Google Account to guarantee a secure and easy contacts migration.
This tool suits the phone switching from Android to iOS (or the other way around) where the users have been using their Google Account in their old Android phones, and their contacts have been synced to Google. If not, read from the first step below:
Step One: On you old Android phone, tap “Accounts” >> “Add accounts” >> “Google” to sign in your Google account, then enable the “Syncing” function to sync all your contacts to your Google account.
Step Two: On your new iPhone, tap “Settings” >> “Contacts” >> “Accouts” >> “Add Account”, and choose Google logo to sign in your Gmail account on you iPhone.
Step Three: Wait a while for all your Android contacts to be synced from your Google account to your iPhone.
The Move to iOS app and Google Account are total solution for data transfer from Android to iOS. Handy as they are, they still fails to satisfy needs of certain users.
