Tips for Moving from iPhone to Android: Easy Steps for Syncing

Move your text messages

Losing your text message history is kind of like losing a scrapbook that you’ve created with all of your friends and family. Not to mention all of the important information, like addresses, names, and juicy gossip, that is stored in your message history.

So, how can you transfer this trove to your iOS device to your new Android smartphone? The process is surprisingly difficult, but not impossible.

There are several apps that can help you transfer your message history. The iSMS2droid app is one of the highest rated and most popular options. Download the app and follow the instructions it gives you for backing up your iPhone and retrieving the saved data.

However you decide to transfer your messages between devices, be sure to turn off iMessage on your old iPhone. Otherwise you risk SMS and MMS messages being sent to your old phone instead of your new Android phone.
