How to move your photos, contacts, and more from Android to iPhone

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><div class="video"><div class="video_iframe"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ri6cSXh5E7c?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;controls=2&amp;autohide=1&amp;showinfo=0" width="627" height="353" class="video-filter video-youtube vf-ri6csxh5e7c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div></div> <!--/video--> <p class="intro">Switching from Android to iPhone used to be difficult, but with the new Move to iOS app it's as easy as tapping a few buttons.</p> <p>Moving your photos and contacts and calendars and accounts from your old Android phone to your new iPhone is easier than ever with the Move to iOS app. The app, made for Android (Apple's first Android app, actually), hooks the two phones up with a direct Wi-Fi network and transfers over all your data. Depending on how much is on your phone, it could take a while to transfer everything, but the wireless device-to-device connection makes for a relatively speedy transfer process.</p> <p>The Move to iOS app transfers your photos, calendar, contacts, text messages, and photos and videos. It doesn't transfer your apps (they're obviously not compatible anyway), music, or any of your passwords. Additionally, the option to transfer data from an Android phone with Move to iOS is only available on devices running iOS 9 or higher, so your brand-new iPhone 6s will be able to pull your contacts, photos, and more from your old Android phone.</p> <ul><li>Free (Android only) - Download Now</li> </ul><h2>How to move your data from Android to iPhone with Move to iOS</h2> <ol><li><p>Set up your iPhone as normal until you reach the screen titled "Apps &amp; Data".

Once the set-up process is completed, you'll be prompted to log in to the accounts you transferred from the Android phone. Do that, and then you're good to go!</p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-move-your-photos-contacts-and-more-android-iphone' title="How to move your photos, contacts, and more from Android to iPhone"><img src='?itok=dxZ0RW42' />[/url]<a href='http://www.imore.com/how-move-your-photos-contacts-and-more-android-iphone' title="How to move your photos, contacts, and more from Android to iPhone"><img src='?itok=iVZEOh5K' />[/url]</p></li> </ol><p>How long the transfer process will take will vary depending on how much data you're transferring, the bulk of it consisting of photos and videos. We transferred roughly 400MB of files and it took about 8 minutes from starting to set up our iPhone to entering the account passwords.</p> <p>To help you settle in on your new iPhone, Google's developed several apps that tie into their services, including the full Google Drive and Google Docs suites, Google Play Music, Gmail, and more. Heck, if an Apple Watch isn't your thing, you can bring your old Android Wear watch to the iPhone too.</p> <ul><li>Gmail (Free) - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gmail-email-from-google/id422689480?at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> <li>Google Calendar (free) - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-calendar/id909319292?at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> <li>Google Docs (free) - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-docs/id842842640?at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> <li>Google Drive (free) - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-drive-free-online-storage/id507874739?at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> <li>Google Maps (free) - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-maps/id585027354?at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> <li>Google Photos (free) - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-photos-store-search/id962194608?at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> <li>Google Play Music (Free) - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/google-play-music/id691797987?at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> <li>Google Sheets (free) - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-sheets/id842849113?at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> <li>Hangouts (free) - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hangouts/id643496868?at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul></div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
