Move from Android to iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Ready to transfer to iOS? Download the Move to iOS app to get help switching from your Android device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

If you can’t use the Google Play Store, learn how to download Move to iOS.

Before you begin

• On your Android device, make sure that Wi-Fi is turned on.
• Plug your new iOS device and your Android device into power.
• Make sure that the content you’re moving, including what’s on your external Micro SD card, will fit on your new iOS device
• If you want to transfer your Chrome bookmarks, update to the latest version of Chrome on your Android device.

Tap Move Data from Android

While you set up your new iOS device, look for the Apps & Data screen. Then tap Move Data from Android. (If you already finished setup, you need to erase your iOS device and start over. If you don’t want to erase, just transfer your content manually.)

Open the Move to iOS app

On your Android device, open the Move to iOS app. If you don’t have the Move to iOS app, you can tap the QR code button on your new iOS device and scan the QR code using the camera on your Android device to open the Google Play Store. Tap Continue, and read the terms and conditions that appear. To continue, tap Agree.

Wait for a code

On your iOS device, tap Continue when you see the Move from Android screen. Then wait for a ten-digit or six-digit code to appear. If your Android device shows an alert that you have a weak internet connection, you can ignore the alert.

Use the code

Enter the code on your Android device.

Connect to a temporary Wi-Fi network

Your iOS device will create a temporary Wi-Fi network. When asked, tap Connect to join that network on your Android device. Then wait for the Transfer Data screen to appear.

Choose your content and wait

On your Android device, select the content that you want to transfer and tap Continue. Then—even if your Android device shows that the process is complete—leave both devices alone until the loading bar that appears on your iOS device finishes. The whole transfer can take a while, depending on how much content you’re moving.

Here’s what gets transferred: contacts, message history, camera photos and videos, photo albums, files and folders, accessibility settings, display settings, web bookmarks, mail accounts, and calendars. If they’re available on both Google Play and the App Store, some of your free apps will also transfer. After the transfer completes, you can download any free apps that were matched from the App Store.

Set up your iOS device

After the loading bar finishes on your iOS device, tap Done on your Android device. Then tap Continue on your iOS device and follow the onscreen steps to finish setup for your iOS device.

Finish up

Make sure that all of your content transferred. Music, books, and PDFs need to be moved over manually.

Need to get the apps that were on your Android device? Go to the App Store on your iOS device to download them.

If you need help with the transfer

• Make sure that you leave both devices alone until the transfer finishes. For example, on your Android device, the Move to iOS app should stay onscreen the whole time. If you use another app or get a phone call on your Android before the transfer finishes, your content won’t transfer.
• On your Android device, turn off apps or settings that might affect your Wi-Fi connection, like the Sprint Connections Optimizer or the Smart Network Switch. Then find Wi-Fi in Settings, touch and hold each known network, and forget the network. Then try the transfer again.
• Restart both of your devices and try again.
• On your Android device, turn off your cellular data connection. Then try the transfer again.

If you need help after the transfer

• Get help if Messages doesn’t work as expected after you transfer your content.
• If you don’t see apps from your Android device on your new iOS device, find and download them in the App Store on your new device.
• You might find that only some content transferred and your iOS device ran out of space, or your iOS device might appear full even though the transfer didn’t finish. If so, erase your iOS device and start the transfer again. Make sure that your Android content doesn’t exceed the available space on your iOS device.

How to Track an iPhone From an Android Phone

Recover your phone quickly and easily with an Android device

What to Know

• Easiest: In a web browser, go to iCloud.com, select Find iPhone, select your device, and select an option to locate or control the missing iPhone.
• Next easiest: With Google Maps enabled on the iPhone, access Google Maps on an Android device and go to your Timeline.

This article explains four ways to track all currently supported iPhones on any Android device capable of running the apps mentioned below.

How to Track an iPhone With an Android Browser

Find My iPhone is a great tool for locating a missing iOS device. It helps to have another Apple device, but if you don’t have an iOS or Mac computer, use an Android device. Before you can find an iPhone on an Android, you must enable the proper settings ahead of time. Follow these instructions to locate a missing iPhone with any Android browser app.

When setting up Find my iPhone, enable the Send Last Location option. This ensures a location can be determined if the battery dies. If your iPhone is running iOS 15 or later, however, you can still find its location even if the device is powered off.

On an Android device that isn’t yours, run the browser in incognito mode. This way, none of your personal information is stored.

Log in to iCloud.com with your Apple ID.

From the menu, select Find iPhone.

Choose the device you want to find.

Select one of three options to locate or control the missing device:

• Play Sound to find the device by an audible signal.
• Enable Lost Mode to prevent intruders from hacking the device.
• Erase iPhone/iPad to erase the device’s data remotely.

If the browser is in incognito mode, log out of all accounts and close the incognito browser when you finish.

How to Track an iPhone Location With Google Maps

It’s possible to track your iPhone with Google Maps, but success is not guaranteed. A specific setting must be enabled on the iPhone before it goes missing.

For this method to work, Google Maps must be installed on the iPhone and location access enabled. From the Google Maps app, select your profile image at the top and then choose Settings. Select Personal content and then check that your location tracking is enabled in both the Location Services and Location History settings screens.

With Google Maps location access enabled on the missing device, open a web browser on the Android device and log into your Timeline.

Select the date your phone went missing and review your travel routes and visited locations.

If you took photos on that date, the images appear in the timeline and indicate where you were the last time you used the device.

How to Track an iPhone With a GPS Tracking App

Using a GPS tracking app is also a good tool for locating a lost or stolen iPhone. However, the app must be installed before the phone goes missing.

To be safe, use a GPS tracking app compatible with both iOS and Android, such as Life 360. Have a friend with an Android device install the same app and use the app on your phone to locate your phone if it’s lost. Alternatively, log into your Life360 account from an incognito browser on an Android device to track your phone. Other tracking apps work similarly.
