Switch to Android: Getting started

Switch to Android: Contacts

  • On your iPhone, go to Settings, then iCloud, and enable Contacts to sync your address book to Apple’s iCloud service. On your computer, go to www.icloud.com, then enter your Apple ID and password, and select Contacts from the main page. Go to the lower left corner, then click on the wheel icon, and choose Select All. Click on the wheel again and select Export vCard. Go to the website http://www.google.com/contacts in your web browser, then select More from the menu, and choose Import. Find the VCF file you saved from Step 3 above, and once you do that, Gmail will be able to import all your contacts. To merge duplicate entries, choose More from the Google Contacts page, and select Find & merge duplicates.

Switch to Android: Photos

  • On your iPhone, download Google Photos from the App Store. From there, sign into Google Photos using your Google account. Select Back up and Sync (under menu, select the gear icon, then Camera and Photos, and enable Back up and Sync).

Switch to Android: Music

  • Open the app and select Upload songs to Google Play from the pop-up window that appears. Select iTunes or another folder when asked where you keep your music collection. Google Music Manager will show you any songs and playlists it found and ask whether you want to upload them all or manually select some. Let Google Music Manager do it’s thing.

Switch to Android: Calendars

  • On your iPhone, go to Settings and select Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Choose your Google account, go to Calendars, and switch the toggle on. Your iPhone will now sync all your calendars to your Google account.

  • Sync your iPhone Calendar to iCloud by going to Settings, then iCloud, and selecting Calendar on your iPhone. Install SmoothSync on your Android device and enter your Apple ID credentials. Pick the calendars you’d like to sync with your new Android. And that’s it.
