Steps
If the iPhone is already set up, open Settings, tap General, then Transfer or Reset iPhone, and choose Erase All Content and Settings to start fresh.
On the Android phone, install Move to iOS from the Google Play Store and open it.
Power on the iPhone and follow the setup screens until you reach the Apps and Data screen, then tap Move Data from Android.
On the Android phone, tap Continue and accept the terms. A six or ten digit code appears on the iPhone.
Type that code into the Android app. The two phones join a temporary Wi-Fi network, so keep both screens on.
Choose what to move: contacts, messages, photos, videos, calendars, bookmarks and free apps. Tap Next and wait for the transfer bar to finish.
When the transfer ends, tap Done on the Android phone and Continue on the iPhone to finish setup.
Open the apps on the iPhone and sign in again where needed. Paid apps and some app data do not move across.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep both phones plugged into power during the transfer, since a large photo library can take a long time.
Do not open other apps or lock the Android screen while the transfer runs, or the connection may drop.
Move to iOS only works on a new or freshly erased iPhone, so back up anything already on it first.
Some apps such as WhatsApp need their own chat backup and restore, so check those separately.
Questions
Can I transfer data if my iPhone is already set up?
Not directly. Erase the iPhone with Erase All Content and Settings and run setup again, then choose Move Data from Android.
What data does Move to iOS not transfer?
Paid apps, app logins and some app data like game progress usually stay behind. Reinstall those apps and sign in on the iPhone.
Do I need Wi-Fi or mobile data for the transfer?
The phones create their own direct Wi-Fi link, so no internet is needed during the transfer. You do need a connection to download the app and sign in later.
