Stepwise process

Besides, the whole transferring of data from one phone to another is a step by step process altogether. Let’s dive into the steps individually.

Step 1: Music

The easiest way to transfer music from one phone to another is to make use of either TouchCopy or iTunes.

TouchCopy

Download and run TouchCopy on your computer.
Now connect your iPhone.
After TouchCopy loads the music from your iPhone, move ahead to ‘Backup All’.
The backed up content should be stored in a separate folder in your computer.
Now connect your android device to the computer and finally drag and drop the music list.

iTunes

Open iTunes both in your computer and iPhone and connect both.
Right click on the name of your iPhone and then click on ‘transfer purchases’.
After the transfer is done, connect your android device.
Use file explorer to find out the iTunes music. Then use the drag and drop policy.

Step 2: Photos and Videos

It is true that more than the photographs and videos, the memories that we capture are more precious to us. We simply do not want to part with them. Before you get into this transferring process, make sure that all the photos and videos are saved to your device, instead of only saving them to iCloud. This is because there are some softwares that do not have the capability to copy files and folders from iCloud.

In case of TouchCopy, you have to connect your iPhone to TouchCopy first followed by clicking on the ‘Photos’ tab. Then, select ‘Copy Photos’ to copy down all images and videos on your device. Connect your android device and find the place where you have copied the files. Finally, drag and drop them in your android device.

Besides, you can also make use of your computer for transporting photos and videos from iPhone to Android. Just connect you iPhone to your computer. Use file manager to open it. Select all your photos and videos from the internal storage. During this phase, you can connect your android device with the computer using a spare USB port. Finally, select, drag and drop the images and videos into your android phone.

Step 3: Contacts

For contacts as well, you can make use of TouchCopy or iTunes. If you think them complicated, Google will make things simple for you. Go to Google contacts and step into the old version (the new version does not support importing of contacts). Click on ‘more’ and then ‘import’.

Conclusion

Therefore, there are a number of ways with which you can transfer all data from iPhone to an android device. If you are in a mess while doing so, only recall dr.fone – Switch!
