If you’ve recently purchased a new iPhone and are switching from an Android device, the primary concern is how to transfer your data. This includes photos, contacts, messages, apps, WhatsApp chats, and more. Fortunately, transferring data from an old phone to a new iPhone is straightforward if you know the correct method. Here’s a simple guide on transferring data from Android to iPhone in minutes.
### Apple’s Move to iOS App
Apple provides an app to make data transfer from Android to iPhone easy. The app is called Move to iOS and is available for free on the Google Play Store. Using this app, you can easily share Contacts, Calendars, Photos and Videos, Gmail accounts and mail, Messages, Web bookmarks, and WhatsApp chats.
### Step-by-Step Guide
* Set up your iPhone as new. When you turn on your new iPhone, you’ll see a screen titled Apps & Data. Select the option to Move Data from Android.
* Install the Move to iOS app on your Android phone. Go to the Google Play Store and download and open the Move to iOS app.
* Ensure that your Android phone and new iPhone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and both have sufficient battery or are connected to a charger.
* The iPhone will display a 6-10 digit code. Enter this code into your Android phone. The Android phone will then ask you what data you want to transfer, such as contacts, photos, videos, chats, etc. Select the desired data.
* Once the process begins, let it complete. The iPhone will handle the remaining setup once the transfer is finished.
### WhatsApp Data Transfer
You can now bring your WhatsApp chat backup from Android to iPhone. To do this, go to WhatsApp settings on your Android phone, click on the Chats section, and tap Move Chats to iOS. Then, select WhatsApp data while transferring using the Move to iOS app. Install WhatsApp on your iPhone and enter the same number; the app will recognize the old backup.
