Apple is famous for that integrated ecosystem, but if you’re switching to Android, you want to start using more Google services. Your Google Account has gradually come to serve as a passport to a wide range of services, and cross-platform synchronization has improved significantly in recent years. Once you totally complete this process, make sure that you disable iMessage and Facetime to avoid losing any future or upcoming messages and calls on your phone.

Install Google Drive on your smartphone.

Transfer contacts from iPhone to android

The first thing you want to do when switching from iPhone to Android is to transfer your contacts. This process’ simplicity will depend highly on your previous practices for synchronizing contacts. Are you synchronizing your contacts to your Google Account? If yes, then getting your contacts on your brand new Android smartphone is a breeze! All you have to do is enter your Google account details. All your saved numbers will be downloaded automatically.

If you do not synchronize your contacts, however, you will have to work a bit more. The easiest way would probably be to use iCloud to get a .vcf file and import it to Android mobile phone.

On your iPhone, go to your Settings app and then your profile at the top.
Tap iCloud and toggle on Contacts. Your contacts will upload to Apple’s cloud services shortly.
Use a browser to go to iCloud.com and log in with your Apple ID.
Select Contacts and then click on the gear icon in the lower-left corner.
Click Select all.
Click the gear again and select Export vCard. When the .vcf file downloads, you can either import that file to your Google Contacts or straight to your phone.

Transfer contact manually

If you don’t through the Google application, you can export your contacts manually from your computer. Provided you use iCloud sync for your data — and you almost certainly do, as it is by default — you can log into iCloud.com and export data from there.

To export your contacts: Go to the Contacts section and look for the gear icon at the bottom left of your screen > Click on it > select all > Choose export vCard. This will download a vCard file to your computer.
