Moves to iOS devices for Android

Whatever the reason, heres how to move your entire digital life from Android to iOS with as little head-scratching as possible.

For simplicitys sake, well assume youre set up on Android Device with your data plugged into Googles services (Gmail, Google Calendar and so on). If youre using something else, like a Microsoft or Yahoo email address, the process will be similar, and often just involves installing the relevant Android-analogous app on your new iPhone.

Here's what you need for moving to ios

iOS 10 or later ( iOS 10 / iOS 12 / iOS 11 / iOS 12/ iOS 13)

iPhone 6 or later ( iPhone 5 / iPhoneX / iPhoneXR )

iPad 4th generation or later

iPad mini 2nd generation or later

iPod touch 6th generation

Android version 4.0 or later

Before you begin with Move to ios app

On your Android device, make sure that Wi-Fi is turned on.

Plug your new iOS device and your Android device into power.

Make sure that the content you're moving, including what's on your external Micro SD card, will fit on your new iOS device

If you want to move your Chrome bookmarks, update to the latest version of Chrome on your Android device.

If you have issues moving your content, there are a couple of things that you can check:

Make sure that you leave both devices alone until the transfer finishes. For example, on your Android device, the Move to iOS app should stay onscreen the whole time. If you use another app or get a phone call on your Android before the transfer finishes, your content won't moving.

On your Android device, turn off apps or settings that might affect your Wi-Fi connection, like the Sprint Connections Optimizer or the Smart Network Switch. Then find Wi-Fi in Settings, touch and hold each known network, and forget the network. Then try the transfer again.

Restart both of your devices and try again.

On your Android device, turn off your cellular data connection. Then try the transfer again.

You might find that only some content transferred and your iOS device ran out of space, or your iOS device might appear full even though the transfer didn't finish. If so, erase your iOS device and start the transfer again. Make sure that your Android content doesn't exceed the available space on your iOS device.
