How to transfer contacts from Android to iOS

When t comes to the best smartphones in the market, the choice is split down the middle into two – Android and iOS. Earlier, if you made the shift from Android to iOS, the process of transferring contacts was an actual task. There were many cases where some of the contacts just didn’t make it, and there were times when you had to manually enter the contacts one by one. This is ok if you have a few contacts, but when you have more than 100 contacts, the manual entry option is absolutely outlandish.

Now, with the evolution of both the Android and iOS platforms, the migration of data between the operating systems is an absolute breeze.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to transfer contacts from Android to iOS.

First, let’s set things up on the Android device.

Step 1. Open the ‘Settings‘ on your Android device.

Step 2. Tap on the ‘Accounts and Sync‘ option from the settings menu.
