I want to use Move to iOS to switch from my old Android to my new iPhone, but it always gets stuck during the transfer process. How long does Move to iOS take?

How long it takes to complete data migration in "Move to iOS" is affected by factors such as the amount of data and network conditions. Normally, Move to iOS may take about half an hour to transfer.

Let's take the file size as an example.

File Size Time
Small (few contacts, messages)  Minutes
Medium (several hundred photos, some apps) 30 minutes to 1 hour
Large (thousands of photos, videos, many apps) 1 hour to several hours

The larger the amount of data you want to migrate, the longer the migration will take. For example, if you have a lot of high-resolution photos, videos, and apps stored on your Android device, it may take longer to migrate this data to your iOS device. If your network connection is unstable or slow, the migration process may be delayed. The migration time may also be affected by the performance of your Android and iOS devices. If the device performance is low, the data migration may be processed more slowly.

If you want to transfer using Move to iOS, planning ahead is usually a good idea. Make sure you have a fast and reliable network connection, a fully charged device, and enough time to finish the transfer procedure. It might not be ideal to transfer a large amount of data using Move to iOS. In this case, it is recommended to use a reliable data transfer tool - EaseUS MobiMover. MobiMover is the best Move to iOS alternative. It helps you transfer data from Android to iPhone in one click.
