What you need
Steps
Charge both phones and put them on the same Wi-Fi network. Keep them close together during the whole transfer.
Turn on the new iPhone. Swipe up and choose your language and region, then tap Continue on the Quick Start screen.
On the Apps and Data screen, tap Move Data from Android. The iPhone shows a six or ten digit code.
On the Android phone, install the Move to iOS app from the Google Play Store and open it.
Tap Continue in the app, accept the terms, and type the code shown on the iPhone.
Choose what to send, such as contacts, messages, photos, videos and calendars, then tap Next. Leave both phones alone until the loading bar finishes.
Finish the rest of the iPhone setup: sign in with your Apple ID, set Face ID, and pick your settings.
Open the Photos, Contacts and Messages apps on the iPhone to check that your data arrived.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep both phones plugged in and on the same Wi-Fi, since a large photo library can take a long time.
Apps do not transfer. Reinstall them from the App Store and sign in again.
WhatsApp chats need a separate transfer inside the app, so do that after setup.
Do not open other apps on the Android phone during the transfer or it may stop.
Questions
How long does the transfer take?
It depends on how much data you have. A few thousand photos can take 20 to 40 minutes, so keep both phones charged and connected to Wi-Fi.
Can I move my WhatsApp messages too?
Not with Move to iOS. Install WhatsApp on the iPhone, then use its built-in chat transfer option with both phones on the same Wi-Fi.
What if the transfer stops halfway?
Restart both phones and run Move to iOS again. Data already copied is usually kept, so you can pick up where it stopped.
