About this app

iSMS2droid can restore all your SMS texts and iMessages from an Apple iPhone backup into Android's messaging app - FOR FREE!

Please be aware that this app only works with unencrypted SMS databases. If you have encryption enabled for your backups, disabled it and create a new backup - you can of course enable encryption again after the import.

--- Instructions ---

Step 1) Check https://isms2droid.com for detailed instructions on how to get your iPhone SMS database, then copy it via USB cable/Dropbox/etc. onto your Android phone.

Step 2) Start iSMS2droid and tap on "Import Messages" to select your iPhone SMS database file.

Step 3) Choose if you want to import all messages, or select specific conversations by contact.

Step 4) Rate or review this app on Google Play if you are happy with it.

Ratings and reviews

Very easy to use and understand. Just got a new phone and the transfer for messages messed up, tried this app after some searching and it worked like a charm! There's a bit of work involved with getting messages transferred, but if they're important to you then this is the app to use!

Wonderful app. I recommend clearing storage on default messaging app immediately after import completes, rather than waiting like the FAQ says. As far as I can tell, there are no downsides to this, and it forces reindexing immediately. Very helpful. Otherwise, completed quickly exactly as described. Instructions are clear and detailed. Would use again.

Worked per the instructions. Managed to transfer the SMS messages from my wife's iPhone to her new Huawei P30 Pro device successfully. The only thing that startled me initially was that after transferring the identified file from the iTunes backup to the Android device, and clicked the "Import Messages" from the app for the first time, it didn't seem to detect the transferred file (SMS backup). However, after navigating back and tried again, the backup was detected immediately and all SMS messages were subsequently imported successfully! The only thing which didn't work for me, though a minor issue, was importing the call log. I was not able to locate the file from the iTunes backup per the instructions given on the iSMS2droid site. Hope to hear from their support on a resolution for this soon. Nevertheless, an indispensable app for anyone migrating from iPhone to Android!
