Backing up contacts, syncing music data, videos, photos… takes a lot of time when switching from Android smartphone to iPhone, but now everything has become so simple. Check out our detailed instructions below.
Although the iPhone runs on the iOS platform, a completely different operating system from Android, it is still quite compatible with Google accounts. You just need to sign in to your Gmail account on your iPhone and you can continue to use essential Google services.
To do this, do the following on iPhone: Choose Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Google , and sign in with your Gmail information and password. You will then be asked to select the services you want to sync, including: Mail, Contacts, Calendar and Notes . The remaining task is now very simple, you just need to click the slider on the service you want and wait for the settings to be set up.
If you save your contacts in the storage of your Android device, you can still transfer this data to your iPhone. Most Android phones can export stored contact information as a vCard file (.VCF). The first thing to do is to find the Export option on your Android smartphone. Depending on the Android device used, this feature may be located in different locations. Usually, this option is related to the settings in the Contacts app. You choose this function, the output file will be stored in the internal memory of your Android phone.
Next, you send the vCard file to your personal email ( you can install additional file management applications like ASTRO or ES File Explorer on Android to attach the file to the mail ) and open it with Contacts on iPhone. Once this step is done, you should be able to view or import the individual contacts contained in the vCard file.
Transferring text messages from an Android phone to an iPhone is a rather complicated process. To do this, you need to use a phone manager that is compatible with both operating systems.
You can use Moborobo software (it’s easy to confuse with Mobogenie). This is software that helps to successfully transfer text messages from Android phones to iPhones.
Download and install Moborobo software on your computer.
Connect your Android phone to the computer via the USB port. You pay attention to enable USB Debugging mode, in the Developer Options section on Android devices.
On the Moborobo interface, you select the Data tab. In the Manage Messages section, select All and then go to Import & Export > Export All > Export .XML ( other data types XML will not be accepted by the iPhone’s database ).
Connect iPhone to computer via USB port and import the newly created XML file.
After your iPhone restarts, you’ll see all your Android messages tucked away in the device’s default Messages app.
The process of backing up call history from Android to iPhone is even more difficult. The condition is that you must have a jailbroken iPhone device. First, you can use Moborobo on your computer to export your Android phone logs as text (.TXT) or Excel (.XLS), or use the Call Logs Backup & Restore Android app to send the calendar. call history in an XML file. Next, perform the same step as step 4 above and wait for the “miracle” to come.
Transferring data by copying and pasting is incorrect. The reason is because the multimedia library on iOS is managed through the iTunes software. You can download this software easily and for free from the official Apple website.
Then you perform the transfer of photo and video data to iPhone:
First you copy the photos and videos from your Android device ( usually in the DCIM drive ) to an empty folder on your computer. You connect your iPhone to the computer via USB and turn on iTunes ( if it doesn’t start automatically ).
In the iPhone tab ( upper right corner of iTunes ), select Photos and then check Sync Photos , Include Video from the folder saved on your computer and click the Apply button ( lower right corner ).
You must not disconnect iPhone until the sync process is complete and the data is completely transferred to the device.
In addition, you can also use some simpler methods of storing photos and videos using cloud computing applications such as Google Drive , Dropbox , OneDrive on Android or iCloud on Mac or iCloud Control Panel software. on Windows and use similar apps on iPhone to sync stored data. However, these methods often depend on network speed and the amount of storage space you have on your cloud applications.
If you want to back up songs from your Android device to your iPhone, you need to copy the songs to a separate folder on your computer. You put these songs into your iTunes library by: Select the File tab > Add File to Library ( or press Ctr + O ) and select all the songs in the folder you just stored.
You connect your iPhone to your computer via a USB port. In the music library, to add each song individually, find the Add to option next to your favorite song and add it to your iPhone. Or, you go to the iPhone tab of iTunes and select Sync to sync multiple songs at the same time.
In fact, Google’s applications not only work on the Android platform, but are also developed on the iOS operating system. Therefore, if you are used to using Google Maps and Google Chrome , you can still download them as an alternative to the default Apple Maps application and Safari browser.
Apple’s iCloud Control Panel software has the ability to synchronize bookmarks between browsers quite well. Therefore, you can use them to do this very easily.
Good luck!
