The Move to iOS app can help you move data from Android to iPhone. But before using this app, you need to be aware that:

• Your Android device should be running Android 4.0 or later.
• This app only supports WhatsApp, contacts, messages, camera photos and videos, mail, bookmarks, and calendars.
• This method will erase everything from your device because it requires you to erase it by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. 

After making sure all situations, you may meet, check these steps to transfer data to your new iPhone 7/8/X/XS/12/13 series. 

Step 1. After erasing your device, you can set up your iPhone from scratch.

Way 3. Transfer Photos from Android to iPhone After Setup Using iCloud

Another way to transfer photos to your iPhone from an Android device is using iCloud. The steps might be a bit confusing because first, you need to transfer photos from your Android to your computer via a USB cable and then upload these photos to your iCloud account. Moreover, iCloud only frees its users the first 5GB of storage. If you have a lot of photos to transfer, you need to buy more storage space in advance.

Now, let's start transferring photos.

Step 1. Connect your device to the computer, then you will see an AutoPlay window appear in the bottom right of your screen. 

Step 2. Click on that and then choose "Import photos and videos."

Step 3. Then, you can select the photos and videos you wish to transfer to your iPhone. Alternatively, you can use the Photos app built into your Windows 10 to do the same. All you need is to open the Photos app via the Start menu and then click "Import" > "From a connected device." Next, pick the photos you wish to import. 

Step 4. After selecting the wanted photos, you can customize your desired storage path.

Step 5. Go to iCloud.com and sign in with your iCloud credential.

Step 6. Select Photos from the options. Then, click "Upload" > "Photo Library."

Step 7. Select the picture you just imported from your Android device, and then all photos will be uploaded to your iCloud.

Step 8. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Photos, and turn on "iCloud Photos."

Quick Tips: If you have a lot of photos to transfer, it might take a lot of your time. Given that, we recommend you use a quicker way to transfer photos from a PC to your iPhone with EaseUS MobiMover. 

Way 4. Transfer Data from Android to iPhone After Setup Using iTunes

Step 1. Connect your Android device to a computer.

Step 2. Click the AutoPlay window when it appears.

Step 3. Click "Import photos and videos" and select the photos you wish to transfer. You can customize the storage path you want.

Way 5. Transfer Data from Android to iPhone After Setup via Email

Email is another popular transfer solution between two different devices, for it is free and easy to use. Despite its benefits, the disadvantages are also apparent, mainly reflected in its supported data types, transfer speed, and complex procedure. 

Considering that, we recommend you use email to transfer mail, contacts, and calendar instead of media files like photos, videos, and music, which might take forever to transfer.

Step 1. On your Android, go to Settings > Account. 

Step 2. Enable Gmail and sync feature. Enable sync calendar and contacts.
