Once you decide to get an iPhone, there is usually no going back. iPhones are one of the greatest inventions of all time and are a complete experience on its own. However, now that you have decided to abandon your Android, you must find a way to transfer all the data that you have in it. We understand how each tiny bit has either personal value or professional value. Or sometimes even both.
Moving the complete set of data from Android to iPhone including the photos, contacts, calendars, and even mail accounts can be a huge hassle for most people. Each phone has millions of MBs of data (if not GBs), which is crucial most of the time. Especially in the world today, where data is the new currency!
We know that Apple is already providing an app called ‘Move to iOS’ for the Android users who are switching from Android to iOS. This app can help you move your most of the data from an Android to an iOS device. But you may already know that it will only work when you setup your iPhone for the very first time. If you’ve already setup your iPhone, you just can’t use it anymore to move content from your Android to your iPhone.
Luckily for you, we found few easy ways which could be very helpful to transfer your data from Android to iPhone after the setup. The following two ways are foolproof and have been tested multiple times so that you can easily use them.
