To transfer data from an Android phone to an iPhone in 2025, the most common and efficient method is to use Apple's official "Move to iOS" app. Here's a step-by-step summary of the main method:
- On your new iPhone, during the initial setup process, when you reach the "Apps & Data" screen, choose the option "Move Data from Android."
- On your Android device, install and open the "Move to iOS" app from the Google Play Store.
- Follow the on-screen instructions on both devices. Your iPhone will create a temporary Wi-Fi network which the Android phone will connect to.
- A code will appear on the iPhone. Enter this code on the Android device.
- Select the data you want to transfer, such as contacts, message history, photos, videos, mail accounts, calendars, WhatsApp messages, and more.
- Wait for the transfer to complete, keeping both devices close and connected to power.
- Once the transfer finishes, continue setting up your iPhone.
This method transfers a wide range of data including contacts, messages, photos, videos, files, app data, and more. Some free apps available on both platforms will also be suggested for download on the iPhone. If the iPhone has already been set up without doing this transfer, you may need to erase it and start over, or alternatively, transfer content manually. There are also other methods like using third-party apps or USB drives, but the Move to iOS app is the most straightforward and officially supported way.
Would details on manual transfer methods or third-party apps also be helpful?
