How do I transfer my Apple contacts to my Android?

To transfer your contacts from an iPhone to an Android device, consider the following methods:

  1. Sync with Google Account:

    • On your iPhone, navigate to Settings -> Contacts -> Accounts.
    • Find your Gmail account (if none exists, add one), and toggle on Contacts.
    • Enable Contacts synchronization on your Android device under Passwords & accounts -> Google account -> Account sync, ensuring 'Contacts' is turned on.
    • Your contacts should now sync between your iPhone and Android device.
  2. Email or Text Each Contact:

    • For smaller sets of contacts, you can individually email or text each contact's information from your iPhone to your Android device.
  3. Third-Party Tools:

    • Use applications designed specifically for cross-platform transfers, such as CardDAV.iCloud for Android mentioned in the discussion thread, or other similar tools found on the Google Play Store.
  4. Manual Backup and Restore:

    • Install the Google One app on your iPhone and set up Google One.
    • Follow the steps within the app to back up your contacts.
    • Afterward, restore the contacts onto your Android device.
  5. Via USB Connection:

    • Plug your iPhone into your Android device using a compatible cable (Lightning to USB-C).
    • During setup, select the option to transfer data from your iPhone, choosing to include contacts.
    • If you lack the appropriate cables, you might be able to perform a wireless transfer, although this feature depends on specific models and manufacturer support.

Remember to ensure you're using the same Google account on both devices for seamless synchronization.
