Move to iOS

Apple

About this app

Everything about iOS is designed to be easy. That includes switching to it. With just a few steps, you can migrate your content automatically and securely from your Android device with the Move to iOS app. No need to save your stuff elsewhere before switching from Android. The Move to iOS app securely transfers all kinds of content for you:

Contacts
Message history
Camera photos and videos
Web bookmarks
Mail accounts
Calendars

Make sure to keep your devices nearby and connected to power until the transfer is complete. When you choose to migrate your data, your new iPhone, iPad or iPod touch will create a private Wi-Fi network and find your nearby Android device running Move to iOS. After you enter a security code, it will begin transferring your content and put it in the right places. Just like that. Once your content has been transferred, you’re ready to get going. iOS will also set up your default mail account. That’s it — you can start using your new iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and experiencing its endless possibilities. Enjoy.

Move to iOS is supported on all phones and tablets running Android 4.0 and later.

Ratings and reviews

Complete garbage. Can't alter the iphone settings without completing setup, so the iphone falls asleep, at which point the transfer fails. Meanwhile, the progress bar doesn't actually work, so you can't tell how much or if any data has transferred, and if you start over, it'll just copy it all again. Love having three duplicates of my contacts that are incredibly difficult to delete manually on iOS, Apple! Great product!

We retried this app several times when it wouldn't work, and it just made things worse each time. If you are foolish enough to expect success, at least start it and let it run overnight. -Note: it was especially bad at getting text history: imported only one person's half of a text conversation, only pictures, or only text (depending on conversation) -introduced duplicate contacts x4, but only for half the address book

Seriously, don't waste your time with this app. I tried transferring data from a moto x4 to an iPhone 13 and the process never completed. The app takes 10-15 minutes just to get the phones connected, even when I was on the same private wi-fi. Once finally connected, the estimated time to complete was inaccurate. The iPhone showed 11 hours to complete the data transfer, but proceeded through the first "six hours" in about one hour. The next five hours was about correct, but it got to one minute remaining and never got past it. I waited thirty minutes additional minutes before giving up. Not sure what I'll do now, but save yourself from this headache.
