How to transfer contact list from Android Device to your new iPhone – Guide
Switching from an Android phone to an iPhone doesn’t have to be hard. There are several ways to transfer contacts, whether you’re setting up a new device or just transferring a few. While there’s no one-click process like when updating from one Android or iPhone to another, the transition can still be relatively straightforward.
Use the Move to iOS app to transfer contacts
Apple’s Move to iOS app makes it easy to transfer data from Android devices to iPhones. The app, available on the Google Play Store, imports contacts, text messages, photos and videos, calendar events, email accounts and website bookmarks over Wi-Fi. Download the app and get started today.
Switching from Android to iPhone? Don’t forget to transfer your music, photos, videos and calendar. While the process will move your data, it won’t transfer your apps. Instead, the App Store will suggest free downloads based on what you had on your Android device and add paid apps to a wishlist for later purchase.
Use your SIM card to transfer contacts
You can easily transfer your contacts from an Android phone to an iPhone by using a SIM card. To do this, the SIM cards must be the same size on both devices (Nano SIMs for iPhones 5 and later). Once you store address book data on the Android SIM card, you can back up your contacts and move them to your iPhone.
Take action now to ensure your future success. Don’t wait any longer – start taking steps today to secure a prosperous tomorrow.
Open the Contacts app on your Android device, tap the menu button, and select Settings. From there, you can access the Import/Export option.
Tap the Export button, then select the option to export your data to a SIM card.
Export your contacts to the SIM card before proceeding.
To complete the transfer of data from your Android device to your iPhone, remove the SIM card from the former and insert it into the latter.
Tap the Settings app on your iPhone to open it.
Tap “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” in older iOS versions.
To transfer contacts from a SIM card to an iPhone, users can tap the “Import SIM Contacts” option.
Once the import is finished, your contacts will be accessible in the Contacts app already installed on your iPhone.
Use Google to transfer contacts
Transferring your Android contacts to iPhone is easy with the help of the cloud. All you need is a Google account, which you likely already have if you own an Android device. To get started, simply follow these steps:
Back up your contacts to Google on your Android device by enabling sync in Settings. Automatically sync with your Google account, or manually toggle Sync Contacts On under the Account tab.
To complete the process, link your Google account to your iPhone.
Set up your Gmail account and you can quickly enable contact synchronization. To do so, go to Settings > Passwords & Accounts and select your account.
Contacts added to your Google account will sync to iPhone when the Contacts slider is switched to the On (green) position.
From now on, your iPhone address book will be automatically synced to your Google account, giving you a secure backup of all your contacts in two places. This makes it easy to transfer them to other devices when needed.
