Part 2. How to Transfer Single Data from Android to iPhone Without Resetting

The four methods above are used for multiple file transfers. In fact, contacts and photos are the two most frequently transferred files when we decide to switch to another phone. This section will explore other ways to transfer contacts and photos separately without resetting. Now, let's get right to it.

1. Contacts Transfer

In addition to a mobile transfer tool and Google account, there are other solutions for moving contacts individually. The following ways are worth a try if you only want to transfer contacts from Android to iPhone.

  • Email - Export your contacts file to your iPhone in a vCard format via Email.
  • SIM card - Sync your contacts on your Android to a SIM card, then insert the card into another device.
  • Outlook Express and iTunes - Back up your Android contacts to Outlook Express, then sync them to your iPhone via iTunes on a computer.

2. Photos Transfer

When you change to another phone, there must be large amounts of photos stored on your Android device. To transfer photos in bulk, the methods below will also help you greatly in addition to iTunes and a cloud service.

  • Google Photos - Sync Android pictures with iPhone using the Google Photos app.
  • Email - It applies to transferring a small number of photos between two devices.
Notice:
Email can also transfer files, but it is not a go-to option for transferring batches of photos, videos, and other large files.

Conclusion

In this post, we have discussed how to transfer data from Android to iPhone without setting. This data includes contacts, calendars, videos, music, photos, audio, and other content. The all-in-one EaseUS MobiMover is highly recommended for transferring them all between Android and iPhone.
