If you have a Samsung phone, you can download Smart Switch to transfer address book from android to iphone after setup, but it only works with Samsung devices; it won’t work with any others.
Steps:
- Download and install the app from the App Store on your iPhone.
- Open the pre-installed app on your Samsung phone.
- Select ‘Send data’ → ‘Wireless mode’.
- Open the app on your iPhone, select ‘Receive data’ → ‘Android’.
- Connect the two phones via Wi-Fi, tick ‘Contacts’ on your Samsung phone, and start the transfer.
Cons
- This method is only supported on Samsung Android devices; it cannot be used on phones from other brands.
- Data transfer relies on a direct Wi-Fi connection, which may result in interruptions or slower speeds if the network is unstable.
- Apart from contacts, compatibility is limited for certain other data types when transferring between platforms.
This method is optimized for Samsung devices, allowing you to quickly and securely transfer address book from android to iphone after setup.
Notes
- Please ensure that both phones are connected to the same stable Wi-Fi network to prevent the connection from being lost during the transfer.
- Before starting the transfer, disable the auto-lock feature on both phones to prevent the connection from being interrupted if the devices go to sleep.
- Do not use or close the app during the transfer, as this may result in data corruption or a failed transfer.
