Hey All, I am going to share you some easy steps involved in Moving Contacts from iPhone to Android device easily without Any App.  Though there are a lot of tutorials claiming the same with different methods lets see which works for you best. I will share you two methods let me know in the comments which method help you efficiently in Migration from iPhone to Android.

Method 1 : Official Method – via App

We will be using the app called Move to iOS. 

Let me tell you clearly : this method needs your iphone to be reseted to New or can be performed better on a new iPhone.

This App is official App from Apple to switch to iOS from Android. only problem in this App is that it might not support older versions of iPhone like iPhone 4s Contacts Migration.

Download Move To IOS from Play Store or APK (Move to iOS 2.10.0) from here. (Safe from APK mirror.)

Not only this app can migrate your contacts but also, message history, camera photos and videos, web bookmarks, mail accounts, and calendars. Some of your free apps will transfer if they’re available on both Google Play and the App Store. After the transfer completes, you can download any free apps that were matched from the App Store. Any matched paid apps will appear in your iTunes Wishlist.

Let us see the minimum requirements with which this app can be effectively used.

  • iOS 9 or later iphone6-android-move-to-ios-hero-wrap
