How to Transfer Contacts from Android to iPhone

 

Switching to an iPhone from Android might seem like a daunting process. You probably have a deep contact list that has been curated over the years. Thankfully, it’s pretty easy to transfer your contacts to an iPhone.

Option 1: During the Initial Setup Process

Apple has an official “Move to iOS” app that’s available in the Google Play Store for Android devices. This is a great tool, but it only works while setting up a new iPhone. If your iPhone hasn’t been set up yet, download the app on your Android device and follow the instructions to transfer contacts.

 

There are still a few options to transfer contacts if you’ve already gotten past the initial iPhone setup process.

Option 2: Import Your Google Contacts

If the contacts on your Android phone are backed up to your Google account, we can transfer them to your iPhone easily. First, open the Settings app on your iPhone.

 Scroll down to “Contacts.”

 Next, select “Accounts.”

 If you didn’t add your Google account here already, tap “Add Account.” (If you have added it, tap the name of your Google account.)

 Now, we can select “Google” from the list of services. Follow the steps to sign in to the same Google account that you used on your Android device.

 

After you’re signed in, you’ll be brought to a screen with a few options for things to sync.

Make sure that “Contacts” is toggled on and tap “Save.”
