Apple doesn’t make many Android apps. In fact, it only makes three, and two of them are music apps. But it’s the third that’s the most interesting, because Move to iOS is designed to make swapping Android for iOS as easy as possible.

Apple’s app was introduced in iOS 9, and it’s available for iPhones running that OS or later. It supports iPhones from the iPhone 5 onwards, iPads from the fourth generation, iPad minis from the second generation and the sixth generation iPod touch. On Android you’ll need to be running version 4.0 of Android or later.

First things first

Don’t set up your iPhone or other iOS device until you’ve installed the Move to iOS app: it expects to see a factory-fresh (or at least, factory reset) device and it’s a pain to sort out on a phone or tablet that’s already been set up.


Make sure both iOS and Android devices are plugged in, make sure your Android device is connected to Wi-Fi and make sure your iOS device has enough space: unlike many Android devices, which support extra storage via microSD cards, iOS devices’ storage is fixed.

TechMej's handy hint: Before transfer, clean your Android phone as much as possible. Delete any unwanted apps, photos and media - this is your chance for a 'smartphone spring clean' and you'll be surprised how many apps you rarely use when you think about it.
