Many people are confused on the internet, wondering if they can transfer their contacts from their iOS device to their Android phone.

Today, we're going to show you if you can really do that, and if you can, then we'll also show you how to transfer contacts from iPhone to Android using Bluetooth.

Can You Transfer Contacts from iPhone to Android via Bluetooth

No, you cannot transfer contacts from iPhone to Android using Bluetooth. In fact, you can't really share anything from an iPhone's Bluetooth to another device because of Apple's strict control over iOS.

As a matter of fact, you can really share files from one Apple device to another, such as transferring data from an iPhone to another iPhone, from an iPhone to a Mac, or from a Mac to an iPhone.

The only reason Bluetooth is included in the iPhone is to connect with other devices like headphones, a wireless keyboard, or mice, and also for Airdrop.

If you don't know how to do it, follow along:

Step 1. Open "Settings" and then select "Contacts."

Step 2. Tap on "Add account" and then sign in to your Google account.

Step 3. Tap on the "Contacts" toggle and turn it on

Step 4. Allow a few moments for your contacts to be synced to your Google account.

Here's how to do that:

Step 1. Open "Contacts" on your iPhone.

Step 2. Select the contact you want to share and tap on it.

The Conclusion

Unfortunately, Bluetooth's capabilities are very restricted on the iPhone by Apple, unlike Android phones that don't have such restrictions; the same isn't the case for Apple devices.

You cannot share a contact from an iPhone to an Android device, as you can from an Android device to another Android device. Though you can use a third-party program or follow.
