Moving to a new operating system can be a daunting prospect. Not only do you have to find a secure way of moving your files, you also need to deal with porting your number and switching tariffs. To help those moving across to iOS, Apple has released a new Move to iOS Android app on the Google Play Store. The app itself looks to port over files, contact information and other important data directly from your Android device. It’s important to note that the app doesn’t cater for every file type, so it’s advised to make use of the various cloud storage options that are at your disposal across both operating systems. Follow the steps below to make the move from Android to iOS as easy as possible.
1. Find your code
Once prompted, select the Move Data from Android option when setting up your new iOS device. A numeric code will appear that you’ll need to remember.
2. Enter the code
Now open the Move to iOS app on your Android device, confirm the T&Cs before entering the code listed on your iPhone. The devices should now be connected.
3. What to transfer?
You’ll now be prompted to select the types of files and details you want to transfer. Select the items using the check boxes and press Next to continue.
4. Start the transfer
The transfer process can take anywhere from five to 50 minutes depending on the number of items you selected. You’ll be notified when the process is done.
5. iOS configuration
Once done, your iPhone will configure your files to make sure they work correctly on your new device. You should now be able to finalize the last set-up options.
6. Log in to finish
The final thing you need to do is to sign into your Google account on your iPhone. Head into the Accounts section in Settings and add the password to finalize this.
