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

When you choose to migrate your data, your new iPhone or iPad 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 or iPad 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!

I wish I'd read the reviews before I used this app. Half of my apps didn't transfer. Only the sent text messages transferred, none of the received, so I lost half of all of my conversations. Now when I try to send a text on my new phone it tells me it failed to send unless I search the person I am texting. All of my photos are completely out of order and the information associated with the photos like date, time and location is gone.

I'm sure it's hard on the technical side to switch from Android file formats to iOS, but this app pretty completely fails at achieving this goal. The file transfer ALMOST completed the first time I did it, but my new iPhone fell asleep (quite easy to do because in setup you can't change how long it takes for the screen to sleep, meaning I had to tap it every 30 seconds for HOURS), and the transfer failed anyway. After many more attempts I just gave up on transferring most data.
