You've finally made the move. You're getting rid of your Android phone in favour for an
0:05
iPhone. Then the problem is all of your photos and contacts are on your old phone. Well
0:11
it's easier than you may think to transfer from one to another. And today I'm going to
0:15
show you how to do that. So, let's get started. Let's begin by sorting your contacts. If you've stored them on your SIM card, it's as simple
0:23
as inserting the card into your iPhone and they will all automatically show up. But most
0:29
people tend to store their contacts on the actual device. And there are a few methods
0:33
in retrieving your contacts from your Android phone. And it's even easier if you've been
0:38
saving all of your contacts in Google, Yahoo or a similar service
0:43
Firstly, ensure that you've backed up your contacts by going to settings and choose accounts
0:49
and sync. If it's not exactly the same title on your Android device, there will be something
0:54
similar. Follow your details and turn on synchronisation. Now, on your iPhone, go
0:59
to settings, then mail, contacts and calendars. And add your Gmail account. Just make sure
1:05
you've approved contacts to be synced. This will also mean that your emails from your
1:09
Google accounts will now be on your iPhone along with your contacts
1:14
Now to retrieve your precious photos. If you have a computer, you can simply plug your
1:18
Android device in. Locate your photos and then copy them over to your computer and sync
1:23
via iTunes. If you don't have a computer to transfer your images, all is not lost
1:28
There are several apps in both the Google Play and iOS store which will transfer them
1:32
over for you. Such as Copy My Data, which is completely free. And it does work the other
1:37
way round if needed. So there you have it, how to easily transfer all your contacts and photos from your Android
1:43
phone to an iPhone. But I want to know what videos you'd like to see. Let me know in the
