Switch How - Part 1
Switching from iOS to Android and back again.
Although the show is no longer in production, you can enjoy episodes from the TWiT Archives.
Megan Morrone and Jason Howell join Fr. Robert to show how to transfer your data, text messages and apps when you want to switch from iOS to Android or vice versa.
Android to iOS
Have: Logged in Android Device, wiped iPhone X
Android: Install Move to iOS app
Android device: Install “Move to iOS” app
- Transfers much data, but no apps/music/passwords
iPhone: Start setup like normal and setup manually
- Get to “Apps and Data”
- “move data from android”
- Enter code from iPhone on Android to establish connection via WiFi Direct
- Android asks which data to move over
- Can transfer Google Account info for easy account access, Chrome Bookmarks, Text messages, Contacts, Photos/Videos
- Select and Next
- Transfer begins
- Once finished the right data should reside in the right apps on iOS
- Finish signing into (or creating) your Apple ID
- Once you get in, any Google accounts will need to be authorized with PW/2 factor auth
- “Add your Android Device Apps for the App Store?”
- Free apps will automatically download (in my case, all the Google apps)
- Google has a whole suite of its apps available for iOS
- TIP: It might save you time to simply sync photos to Google Photos on Android, and not transfer the camera roll which can take a LONG time due to file size

iOS to Android
Back-up in iTunes if you're going back to iOS
- Find Wi-Fi, a charger, and a few hours
- Download Google Drive on your iPhone or update the app if you already have it.
- SIGN IN to your personal account. Google for work won't have a backup option.
- Backup your Content in Google Drive - Contacts, Calendar, Photos, Videos (this could take several hours)
- Don't close the app or turn off the screen.
- MENU --> SETTINGS -->BACKUP
RE: Photos: Choose high-quality (free) or original (counts against your storage.) Here's where you might want to consider buying storage. (Bonus: It's cheaper than iCloud)
- You can stop backup and resume later if you need to.
"KEY TO SUCCESS: DEREGISTER iMESSAGE I always forget this step and it's my own damn fault that I don't get messages. Do this before you take your sim out of your phone.
- Not de-registering iMessage is like breaking up with a boyfriend and keeping his record collection.
