If you are using an android phone and thinking of switching to a new iPhone, you might wonder how to solve one of the biggest problems that could occur in the process, transferring contacts from android to iPhone. Today we hope to discuss how to transfer contacts from Android to iPhone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the biggest pains, when you buy a new phone, is to move the contents from your old phone to the new one. There are lots of things to transfer from your old phone to a new one. Among the stuff like photos, videos, and music transferring contacts take the main priority. There could be thousands of contacts on your phone and you need to make sure that each one of those contacts is transferred to the new phone. So make sure you read and follow the instructions properly to transfer all your contacts from your old Android<\/a> phone to your new iPhone<\/a> without losing any data.<\/p>\n

Transfer contacts via a Google account<\/h2>\n

This is the easiest and best way to transfer contacts from your old phone to your new phone. All you need to do is to backup all your contacts in your android phone to a google account and recover that backup from your iPhone. Then all the contacts in your android phone will be transferred to your iPhone without trouble.<\/p>\n

Backing up your android device with a Google account<\/h2>\n

As we said before you need to back up your contacts on an android device with a Google account. In most cases, android devices set up a google account when the device is first set up. However, you need the username and password of this google account to recover contacts. So first check your backup account by following steps. Make sure you have an active internet connection.<\/p>\n

1. Open Settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

2. Scroll down to Accounts and Backup<\/strong> (or something similar)<\/p>\n

\"accounts<\/p>\n

3. Click on Accounts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Transfer<\/p>\n

Now you will see all the accounts linked to the android device. See if there is a Google account in which you know both the user name and the password. Otherwise, add a new Google account by clicking on the \u2018add account<\/strong> \u2018option.<\/p>\n

You need to make sure that all the contacts are synced and backed up to the Google account.<\/p>\n

4. Click on the Google account.<\/p>\n

\"sync<\/p>\n

5. Select Sync Account.\u00a0<\/strong>Now you will be shown the items which are synced to that account. Make sure that \u2018contacts<\/strong>\u2019 are checked.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

6. Click on the small circle item to sync now (sometimes you may find the \u2018sync now\u2019 setting after clicking the three dots on top of the screen)<\/p>\n

\"contact<\/p>\n

The backing up process may take a while. If you do not wish to backup things like music and video you can uncheck them from the list. It will make the backing up process faster.<\/p>\n

How to import contacts from Google backup account to iPhone<\/h2>\n

Once you have finished backing up, now you need to recover the backup from your Android device.<\/p>\n

1. Go to Settings<\/strong> and Open Contacts<\/strong> on your iPhone.<\/p>\n

\"iPhone<\/p>\n

2. Then Tap on Accounts<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"ios<\/p>\n

3. Select Add Account<\/strong> option<\/p>\n

\"add<\/p>\n

4. Now add the Google account with the backup there.<\/p>\n

\"add<\/p>\n

5. Make sure contacts are enabled.<\/p>\n

\"import<\/p>\n

All your contacts will be available in the contacts app within a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Transfer\u00a0Android Contacts via VCF file to iPhone<\/h2>\n

Now if you have difficulty with doing backups and adding Google accounts, the next most straightforward way is to export all your contacts to a file called a VCF file. Then you can send this VCf file to your iPhone and import all your contacts from that file. This is manual transferring all your contacts, but it is better if you do not have an internet connection. First, you need to export all your contacts to a VCF file on your Android phone.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open your Contacts app.<\/li>\n
  2. Go to Manage Contacts.<\/li>\n
  3. Click on Export Contacts.<\/li>\n
  4. Select internal storage as output<\/li>\n
  5. Now, after importing a .vcf file will be available in your internal storage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now you have to find this file in your internal storage. Go to the file explorer app on your android phone and search for contacts.vcf file (or similar name). After finding it you have to send this file to the iPhone. You can send this file as an attachment for email or you can use a Wi-Fi sharing app to send this file to iPhone.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open this file on iPhone.<\/li>\n
    2. Click on add all contacts and follow the steps.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
