Hello, I purchased a new Galaxy S6 and I need to transfer hundreds of contacts, and messages from old iPhone 5 to Samsung Galaxy S6, I don't want to move them one by one, that waste time, is there a quick way that can copy all contacts and other data from iPhone to Android Samsung S6 ?

Hello, that's Chinese site, but I couldn't understand it. I also search the english for iTools, but I found it only can transfer data from iPhone to computer, I need to copy contacts from iPhone to Android, thanks.

just export contacts as vcf file using itools...

copy it to sd card put it to s6 go to contacts select import from sd card...and select the vcf file you just copied..

or use moborobo or other android tools to copy the vcf file to your contacts..

Hello, garguantan. Thank you very much! but I really not understand your method, you mean other Android tools, I Googled it and found many android tools that said it can transfer contacts from iPhone to Galaxy, but I'm not sure.

Sorry the post links here:
http://www.androidphonesoft.com/reso...oid-phone.html
This article give one tool named phone transfer, but it's not free, I don't know if it worth for purchase.

http://www.androidphonesoft.com/reso...galaxy-s5.html
and this article give 3 methods, it says: iCloud can do it.
1. Turn on iCloud Backup option on your iPhone and make sure Contact backup is enabled.
2. Go to iCloud.com and click Contacts icon listed in the main screen.
3. Find the little gear icon at the bottom of left corner.
4. Select Export vCard, then all of the contacts will be stored in a vcf file.
5. Copy the .vcf file to the root folder of Galaxy S5 and import them to Galaxy S5 with default People app.
However, in case you don't have iCloud service enable previously, then follow the below tutorial instead.

But I tried and I was suck in the step 5. Could you please help me ?

Bro just install SYNC FOR ICLOUD application in your galaxy s6 and login your icloud id user name and password. All contacts will be in your Galaxy Phone.

When switching from iPhone to Samsung Galaxy, you may need to transfer important data such as contacts, photos and more. Here is a video about transfer contacts from iPhone 5S to Samsung Galaxy Note 5, also works with other iPhone and Samsung smartphones.

Hello, thx 4 posting the question here. I tried many ways listed above, another one that I can share is AirMore, which I recently found from Google Play Store. Very beautiful interface though, cuz can transfer the data from iPhone or Android device.

serena66 · 12-31-2015, 03:41

Hey, I found the video demo for using AirMore, not bad~
