About this app

Everything about iOS is designed to be easy. That includes switching to it. With just a few steps, you can migrate your content automatically and securely from your Android device with the Move to iOS app. No need to save your stuff elsewhere before switching from Android. The Move to iOS app securely transfers all kinds of content data for you: Apps Calendars Call logs Contacts Camera photos and videos Mail accounts Message history Voice memos WhatsApp content Make sure to keep your devices nearby and connected to power until the transfer is complete. When you choose to migrate your data, your new iPhone or iPad will create a private Wi-Fi network and find your nearby Android device running Move to iOS. After you enter a security code, it will begin transferring your content and put it in the right places. Just like that. Once your content has been transferred, you’re ready to get going. That’s it — you can start using your new iPhone or iPad and experiencing its endless possibilities. Enjoy. Required App Permission Location: To establish a Wi-Fi connection between the Android device and the iPhone or iPad, which is needed to migrate the data. Optional App Permission - SMS: To migrate your text messages, including multi-media messages and group chats, on iPhone or iPad. - Photos and Videos: To migrate your photos, videos, and related metadata to iPhone or iPad. - Notifications: To allow local Android notifications about the status of your migration to iPhone or iPad. - Contacts: To migrate your contacts to iPhone or iPad. - Music and Audio: To migrate your downloaded media, audio recordings, and voice memos to iPhone or iPad. - Phone: To migrate your SIM and carrier information so you can make and manage phone calls on iPhone or iPad. - Calendar: To migrate your calendar events to iPhone or iPad. - Call Logs: To migrate your call history to iPhone or iPad. You can use Move to iOS even without providing consent to any of the above optional app permissions. However, some features of the service may not be available.

This app is a terrible way to transfer your a data from Android to iPhone. The app will freeze multiple times during the process and sometimes even refuses to start the process and I even tried the wired way using a cable to connect the two but that still doesn't work. Apple if you want more people to be on iPhone, fix this broken app.

What an awful, awful app. As much as Apple may hate Android, you would think they might put a modicum of effort into an app that is meant to switch people to their own platform. And yet, here we are. Seriously, this must've been made by the bottom of the barrel of their software team. There was no thought (limited thought at the most) put into the data transfer process. Why in the hell can data only be transferred over Wi-Fi? Was the reasoning supposed to be security? Because nothing is more secure than a direct cable connection, and it also happens to be faster. Perhaps their thought was that a user might accidentally yank out the cable in the middle of the transfer and have to start the process over again - which might be fine IF their Wi-Fi transferring worked. As you might be able to tell from the plethora of other reviews, it almost never works. When you do manage to connect, the estimated time is absurdly long, and often drops connection or runs into an error during the middle of the transfer. It's awful, and I hate that this is the only free way to transfer text messages from an Android phone. But seriously, it's 2022. Almost every Android phone from the past 5 years has been using USB-C, and the cable you get in the box for new iPhones is USB-C to Lightning. You'd think that a data transfer using the cable included in the box (that conveniently has both connections most people would need) would be a no-brainer. But I guess it's a tiny-amount-of-brainer, because the no-brains who design and update this app still manage to miss the mark. Hope they fix the Wi-Fi issues and add a cable transfer method, because this is an awful way to introduce people to the iPhone ecosystem, and I imagine it'll drive away many people who can't figure out alternate ways to transfer data.

I am tech support and help clients move to IOS. And let me tell you I have tried using app over 1000+. I have never been able to transfer simple things like photos or important Documents. First of all the estimation are always wrong. The app say 15 minutes until completed . But after an hour. You get an error and have to start all over... waste of time. And it leaves the clients unsatisfied of move to IOS. Especially after such a hype to get an IOS device.

This app is garbage. I have done every bit of troubleshooting but it keeps getting stuck at 1 minute left (for 7+hours) until I give up, cancel it, and try again. My WiFi connection is absolutely not the problem, nor is the amount of data being transferred, yet here we are. This is my first iPhone ever and this nightmare of a transfer process has made me seriously question my decision to switch to iOS.

At this point it's pretty well noted that the app basically doesn't work. What the creaters could probably easily do is allow transfer of small amounts of data at a time, so when it inevitably fails, you can pick back up where you left off--whether it be transferring photos, contacts, etc. At the moment it forces an all or nothing strategy, which pretty clearly explains its current rating. Very sad that there aren't better options.
