How to Transfer Data from Android to iPhone

Switching from an Android phone to an iPhone may feel complicated, but Apple has made the process surprisingly easy. Whether you're moving your photos, contacts, messages, or even WhatsApp chats, this guide will help you transfer everything without stress.

📲 Method 1: Use Apple's Free "Move to iOS" App

Apple’s official Move to iOS app allows you to wirelessly transfer:

  • Contacts

  • Messages

  • Photos and Videos

  • Calendar Events

  • WhatsApp Chat History

  • Google Account Info

  • Free apps (if available on iOS)

✅ What You Need:

  • iPhone (new or reset) running iOS 15 or later

  • Android phone with Android 6.0 or later

  • Stable Wi-Fi

  • Power supply for both devices

🧭 Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Turn on your iPhone and begin the setup process until you reach the "Apps & Data" screen.

  2. Choose “Move Data from Android.”

  3. On your Android phone, install the "Move to iOS" app from the Google Play Store.

  4. Open the app and tap Continue on both devices.

  5. A six-digit code will appear on your iPhone. Enter it on your Android phone.

  6. Select the content you wish to transfer and tap Next.

  7. Wait for the transfer to complete, then finish setting up your iPhone.

💬 Move WhatsApp Chats Too

Starting 2022, WhatsApp supports direct Android-to-iPhone transfer:

  1. During the Move to iOS process, WhatsApp will appear as an option.

  2. After transfer, install WhatsApp on iPhone.

  3. Log in with the same number and restore your chat backup.

🛠️ Method 2: Manual Transfers (Alternative Option)

If Move to iOS doesn't suit you or you prefer manual control:

  • Use Google Photos to back up pictures, then download on iPhone.

  • Sync contacts and calendar with your Google Account.

  • Transfer files using cloud services like Dropbox or OneDrive.

❗ What Doesn’t Transfer?

  • Paid apps unavailable on iOS

  • App-specific data (unless cloud-linked)

  • Custom ringtones and themes

  • Some game progress without account sync

🧠 Pro Tips for a Smooth Transfer:

  • Make sure both devices are fully charged

  • Keep them close together and on the same Wi-Fi

  • Use Google Drive to back up your Android before starting

  • Clean up unwanted files to speed up transfer

✅ Final Thoughts

Switching to an iPhone doesn’t mean leaving your data behind. With the Move to iOS app, you can bring almost everything with you—quickly and safely. Take your time, follow the steps, and you’ll be ready to explore your new iPhone in no time.
