Way 3: Transfer LG to iPhone via Google Account [CONTACTS ONLY]

Some people suggest Google Account on forums where users ask how to transfer contacts from LG to iPhone. Without wasting your time, be informed that there is a huge limitation with using this method. This method can only be used to transfer CONTACTS ONLY.

If you seek a way to transfer all data types, I suggest using iCareFone iTransGo/Move to iOS.

Let’s see how to use google account to transfer contacts:

• On your Android phone, go to "Settings" > "Accounts" > "Google" and make sure your contacts are synced to your Google account.

• On your iPhone, go to "Settings" > "Passwords & Accounts" > "Add Account" > "Google" and sign in with the same Google account that you used on your Android phone.

  
• Turn on the toggle switch for "Contacts" and wait for the syncing process to complete. Your Android contacts should now be available on your iPhone.

Way 4: Transfer LG to iPhone via Google Photos/Drive [PHOTOS ONLY]

Transferring LG to iPhone via Google Drive or Google Photos is possible. But, unfortunately, this is almost similar to the method above. It can only transfer photos, videos, and maybe a handful of other media files.

And since the backup has to be done through Google, you have to deal with the issue of limited storage size. For instance, the maximum storage size for each Google Drive or Google Photos is 15G.

Steps to transfer LG to iPhone through Google Photos:

• Open Google Photos on your LG.
• Click Settings. Toggle Backup & Sync to on. All your pictures will sync to Google Photos.
• Install and open Google Photos on your iPhone. Ensure you log in with the same Gmail account details.
• Download the pictures onto your iPhone.

Steps to transfer LG to iPhone through Google Drive:
