Companies don’t make it easy for you to move to their competitors, but don’t let that put you off. Edward Munn explains how to make an easy switch.
MOVE BETWEEN iOS AND ANDROID
If you’re trading in your Android phone for an iPhone, you can transfer most of your important data by installing Apple’s free Android app Move to iOS (bit.ly/move415) and following its simple on-screen instructions. Unfortunately, there’s no equivalent app to take care of the switch from iPhone to Android, but the process is straightforward if you know what to do.
Contacts
If your contacts are saved to your Google account, just set up your Android device with this account and they’ll automatically appear in the Contacts app. If, however, your contacts are saved to iCloud, you’ll need to go to www.icloud.com in your Desktop browser, log in and click Contacts. From this page, click the settings cog, choose Select All, then click the cog again and choose ‘Export vCard’. Now, in your browser, go to your Gmail account, click the drop-down menu and select Contacts. Select More and Import, then click ‘CSV or vCard file’ and follow the on-screen instructions to upload your contacts. Once uploaded, your contacts will automatically appear in the Contacts app on your Android device.
