Switching from Android To iPhone Explained

[@AirbrushDesigns]

Hi Steven, excellent video....I have a question....do you need a SIM card in both phones when moving from one to another?. I'm asking because I only have 1 SIM card (on my Android) and it's the one I'm gonna use in the iPhone. I bought the iPhone used and unlocked with no SIM card. I would appreciate if you can orient me on this.

[@wisdomkodzi1654]

I just transferred my contacts successfully. Thanks so much.

[@judithrandall6857]

Thanks, Steve. Very helpful to a technopeasant! Transfer is complete. So I put the SIM from Android into iPhone now?

[@TechSteve]

Since it uses wifi, you can move the SIM card anytime.

[@sculptor682]

"Now that the transfer is complete.." Jeeeezus! Great instructional. But you could have warned us that that transfer can take hooooouuuuuuurrrreeerrrs.

[@TechSteve]

It depends on your WiFi, and the amount of data in your devices, I have 300mbps do it’s hard to know how long it we’ll take for viewers. I’m happy that you got thru it

[@petebrandstrom1038]

Hope to use these tips moving from S8 to XS. Thanks and Peace out!

[@vxmq16]

After you've transferred everything can u reset the android, will it get rid off the stuff on ios

[@pianoman2575]

Question? Do you keep all the photos and your stuff from your apple id if you restart and re enter your apple id when transferring from android to ios and you already had things on your iphone

[@TechSteve]

You have to start over and loose everything or purchase a software that manual lets you transfer to a computer something like this older video kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHu1nWSMmqmIisk

Tech Steve okay thanks!

[@stephenmoxley5188]

Wow...that's some serious computer geekdom! Thanks for sharing, my friend. I've always been Android, so I wouldn't have to go through this exercise. But, it's good to know that the option is possible. What about the other way around? Apple to Android?

The best way to do it is make sure you have all of your media passwords in check and then to follow this video. The rest is kinda just copy paste. Then reset your android phone and either sell, hand down, or destroy your android phone. Do what you want

If "Move to iOS" doesn't work, is there another method to transfer your texts from Android to iOS (and back)? I don't care about pictures, because they can be moved manually between OS's without much fuss, and apps\settings are easy enough to redo, but the texts are a real problem. If "Move to iOS" doesn't work, there must be a decent third-party solution, but I've been struggling to find one. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You may have to manually move them by exporting out and importing in to your new phone. Keep in mind that if they are on a gmail, yahoo, Microsoft account they will sync to your new phone after you add the email account.. Far as the sim that would be fine to move but some carriers like for people to update to a new one, your choice.
