How to Transfer Line Conversations from iPhone to Android

As better and better Android phones are developed, from the Samsung Galaxy series to the powerful new devices made by Huawei, more and more consumers find themselves switching from the iOS Apple devices to the many different types of devices powered by the Android OS. However, one of the major complications of doing so is transferring one’s iOS data to one’s new Android device. Contacts can be transferred more easily between iOS and Android, and some apps, like Samsung Smart Switch, can be used to transfer text messages, music, media content, etc., between phones. Unfortunately, even though some Apple and Android apps may be identical, much app-specific data has become increasingly difficult to transfer – one example of which would be messages in the LINE messenger app. No matter what you’ve been using your LINE app for, chances are that you’d quite like your past chats to be available for viewing after you’ve changed operating systems. But currently, there is no way to transfer Line chats from an iPhone to an Android device. So navigating this process on your own can be difficult and confusing.

 

 

Lucky for you, we’ve developed a step by step guide to ensure that you’ll be able to read all your old LINE messages on your new Android phone. The iPhone Line to Android Migrator software has been made to make the difficult process of data switching as easy as possible. In 5 steps, all your old iOS LINE messages will be on your new Android device, and you’ll be ready to chat on the go again.
