Switching from an iPhone to an Android smartphone can seem complicated. Different systems, new actions to learn, data to transfer… No need to worry. With a few tips, you can make this transition without any trouble. Here is the step-by-step guide to switch without stress.<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting familiar with Android<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Most of the apps available on iOS are also available on Android. You will find <\/span>Facebook<\/b>, <\/span>WhatsApp<\/b>, <\/span>Twitter<\/b>, <\/span>Spotify<\/b>, <\/span>Evernote<\/b>, and so on. By signing back into your accounts, your data will automatically be restored via the cloud.<\/span><\/p>\n

Android lets you move easily between apps, organise them, close them manually\u2026 Features very similar to the Apple environment. And if you prefer an iOS-style interface, you can install a <\/span>launcher<\/b> such as <\/span>iLauncher<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Create a Google account<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You need a Google account to activate your Android smartphone. You can create one with any e-mail address. This account will be used to <\/span>synchronise and transfer your data<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Transfer your contacts<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On Android:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Settings > Accounts > Google > enable contact synchronisation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    On iPhone:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Settings > Contacts > Accounts > add your Google account > enable synchronisation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Another method: export your contacts via iCloud, then import them into Gmail from a computer so you can tidy them up at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Transfer your text messages<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      The process is a bit more technical:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Back up the iPhone to a PC.<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Copy the file <\/span>3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28<\/span> to the Android device.<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. Use <\/span>iSMS2Droid<\/span><\/i> to convert the text messages.<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Restore them with <\/span>SMS Backup & Restore<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Transfer your photos and videos<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        Connect the iPhone to a PC. Copy the files into a temporary folder. Then connect your Android smartphone and transfer them into the <\/span>DCIM<\/b> folder.<\/span><\/p>\n

        On a Mac, use <\/span>Android File Transfer<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Transfer your music<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        You have two options:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Copy your music files into the <\/span>Music<\/b> folder on the Android device.<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Use <\/span>Google Play Music<\/b> to transfer your iTunes library.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          You\u2019re all set!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

          All your data is now available on your new Android phone. All that\u2019s left is to enjoy using it to the full.<\/span><\/p>\n
