If you’ve recently made the switch from an Android to an iPhone, you may be wondering how to transfer your data from one device to another. While it may seem daunting at first, the process is actually quite simple. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to transfer apps, photos, videos, contacts, and books/PDFs from your Android to your iPhone.
Step 1: Apps Transfer
Unfortunately, you can’t transfer your purchased Android apps to iOS. However, you can find corresponding iOS versions of your apps on the App Store, or add them to your wishlist for purchase at a later time.
Step 2: Photos, Videos, and Music Transfer
To transfer photos, videos, and music from your Android to your iPhone, you’ll need to use iTunes.
First, connect your Android device to your computer and move the files to a designated folder. Then, connect your iPhone to your computer, open iTunes, and select “Photos” from the Settings menu for your device. Check the “Sync Photos” box, select the folder where your Android photos are saved, and click apply to sync your device. Be sure to select “Include Videos” if you’re moving video content.
Step 3: Contacts Transfer
To transfer contacts from your Android to your iPhone, you can use your Google account.
In your Android device, go to Settings > Accounts and sync, enter your Gmail account details, and enable synchronization. All of your contacts will now be backed up on your Google account.
Now, in your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and click on “Add Account”. Add the Gmail account you used in your Android device, select “keep in my iPhone” when prompted, and you’re all set!
Step 4: Books and PDFs Transfer
To transfer books and PDFs from your Android to your iPhone, you’ll need to use iTunes once again.
Connect your Android device to your computer, locate your ePub and PDF files, and transfer them to a designated folder. Then, open iTunes, select the iBooks section, and drag the files into the Book view. Finally, connect your iPhone to iTunes, select it, and click on the Books tab. Choose to sync all of your books or select the ones you want to add to your iOS device.
