Using Move to iOS

If this is the first time you set up the iPhone, a smart and fast way to move contacts from Android to iPhone 6s is to make use of an app called “Move to iOS”. This application is offered by Apple to help users to transfer content from Android to iPhone or iPad. It is compatible with Android 4.0 and up. Besides contacts, you can also use this practical tool to transfer messages, photos and videos in Camera Roll, mail accounts, web bookmarks and calendars. To know how to do it, read this instruction.

1. Download the app on your Android from Google Play.
2. Start your new iPhone 6s. After the standard process of setting up the language, country and Wi-Fi network, it will provide you four choices about Apps & Data: “Restore from iCloud Backup”, “Restore from iTunes Backup”, “Set Up as a New iPhone” and “Move Data from Android”. Select the last one. Afterwards, tap “Continue” and a 10-digit code will come out.
3. Open “Move to iOS” on your Android and enter the code provided by the iPhone. Once the two devices are paired, choose “Contacts” and wait for the transfer process finishes.

As you can see, the operation is quite simple. However, one of its biggest restrictions is that it only works for new or reset iOS devices. That means if you have already finished the setting-up steps, you are not able to use this way anymore. Apart from that, it is useless if you want to move music, downloaded videos or photos.

To export Android contacts to iPhone 6s, you can adopt either method introduced above. Personally, I think Apowersoft Phone Manager is more suitable for the public, as it is applicable for both new and old iPhones and it can transfer more contents with less time.
