->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.
- On your iPhone, navigate to
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.
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.
Manual Backup and Restore:
- Install the Google One app on your iPhone and set up Google One.
