How to Transfer Photos and Data from Android to Your New iPhone
You won’t really feel at home on your iPhone until all your important data is all here. All your contacts, emails, photos and videos. You might be wondering, how exactly to make that happen? While it’s not as seamless as going to another Android phone, it’s not as soul-sucking as you might imagine. Thanks to a couple of apps (including Apple’s own), you’ll be able to transfer all the data, wirelessly, when you binge on a TV show or two.
1. How to Transfer Google Account Details Using Move to iOS
Apple has an official app to help you move your data wirelessly from your Android phone to an iPhone. The issue is that it’s not that reliable, especially when you’re talking about gigabytes of photos and videos.
It is, however, a good way to quickly import your Google account, along with your contacts and email details. So you don’t need to set it up in Settings.
You can only do this when setting up your iPhone from scratch. When you’re on the Apps & Data page, select “Transfer from Android” and follow the instructions on the screen. When it asks what data you want to sync, only select Google Account. The feature also looks the apps you had installed on your Android phone and if they’re available on the App Store, iOS will queue them up for download. It’s important to note that none of your app data will make it over.
If you missed this step, go to Settings -> Mail -> Add account and login in with your Google account. At the end, make sure Email, Contacts and Calendar sync is enabled and all the respective data will show up.
