Switching to an iPhone from Android can seem like an overwhelming procedure. You probably have a deep contact list that has been curated over the years. Fortunately, it is quite simple to transfer your contacts to an iPhone.
Option 1: throughout the initial setup procedure
Apple has a “Mover a iOS"Which is enabled in the Google Play Store search engine for Android devices. This is a great tool, but it only works weather set up a new iPhone. If your iPhone hasn't been set up yet, download the app on your Android device and follow the instructions to transfer contacts.
There are still some options to transfer contacts if you have already passed the initial iPhone setup procedure.

Option 2: Import your contacts from Google
If the contacts of your android mobile are backed up in your Google account, we can transfer them to your iPhone easily. First, open the Settings app on your iPhone.
Scroll down to “Contacts (edit)”.
Next, select “Accounts”.
If you haven't added your Google account here yet, press “Add account”. (If you I have aggregate, tap your Google account name).
Now, we can choose “Google” de la lista de servicios. Follow the steps to log into the same Google account that you used on your Android device.
Once you have logged in, a screen will appear with some options to sync things.
Asegúrate de que “Contacts (edit)” esté activado y toca “Keep”.
That's all there is to it for Google contacts. Verá que todos sus contactos aparecen en la aplicación “Contacts (edit)” de iPhone de inmediato.
Option 3: export and import a file
Not everyone has their contacts synced with a service. The best solution, in this circumstance, is to export your contacts from Android and import them to your iPhone. This procedure will look slightly different depending on your Android device..
As an example, we will use Google contacts app for android. Open the app on your Android device and tap on the hamburger menu in the upper left corner. Please select “Setting” on the menu.
Scroll down to the section “Manage contacts” and select “To export”.
You will be directed to a file manager and you can choose where you want to save the .vcf file. Touch “Keep” When it's over.
Now, you need to get that .vcf file on your iPhone somehow. You can email it to yourself, upload it to a cloud storage service like Google Drive or send it via Bluetooth. Do what you feel comfortable.
After placing it on your iPhone, open the .vcf file once it's there.
When I ask you in which application you would be interested in opening the file, Choose “Contacts (edit)”.
Now, you can choose contacts individually to create new contacts or merge with existing contacts. To transfer them all, Touch “Agregar todos los # contacts” at the top.
Please select “Agregar todos los # contacts” para confirmar su decisión.
That's all about it. Your contacts will now be moved to your iPhone, and you can put your Android device in a drawer and forget about it. Or you can turn it into something useful.
