How to transfer address book from android to iphone after setup without sim
A VCF file (also called a vCard file) is a standard digital format for storing one or more contacts. Think of it as a digital business card collection. One VCF file can hold your entire address book. This method allows you to transfer address book from Android to iPhone without SIM using just a simple file.
Follow these steps carefully if you want to transfer address book from Android to iPhone without SIM. The whole process takes about 3–5 minutes.
On Your Android Phone (Exporting the VCF File)
1. Open the Contacts app on your Android phone.
2. Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines or three dots) – usually in the top left or top right corner.
3. Tap Manage contacts (or Settings on some phones).
4. Tap Import/Export.
5. Tap Export to .VCF file (or Export to storage or Export to .vcf).
6. Choose where to save the file (internal storage is fine). The phone will create a file usually named contacts.vcf or 00001.vcf.
7. Tap Save or OK.
On Your iPhone
1. Locate the VCF file on your iPhone.
2. Tap the file. Your iPhone will automatically recognize it as a contact file.
3. A screen will appear showing all the contacts inside the file.
4. Tap Add all contacts (or Add [number] contacts).
5. Wait a few seconds for the import to finish.
Open the Contacts app on your iPhone. All your Android contacts should now be there. That is how you transfer address book from Android to iPhone without SIM using a VCF file.
