Move to iOS review
A focused, free Android-to-iPhone transfer app with broad personal-data coverage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Move to iOS is a free data-migration app for people moving from an Android phone to a new iPhone or iPad. It transfers selected content directly between the devices during iPhone or iPad setup. The supported scope includes contacts, messages, call history, calendars, photos, videos, files, folders, mail accounts, web bookmarks, WhatsApp messages and media, voice memos, audio files, and some matched free apps. The Android app is available through Google Play, with the receiving Apple device configured as part of setup.
Transfer can run wirelessly over a temporary Wi‑Fi network or through a USB-C cable. That gives buyers two device-to-device paths, depending on their hardware and preferred setup. The app also connects the migration flow with WhatsApp, Google Play, and the App Store: WhatsApp content can move across, while some free Android apps can be matched for download on the receiving device. Its strongest fit is a personal migration where broad phone content matters more than advanced backup workflows.
Move to iOS is most appropriate for Android users switching to an iPhone or iPad and wanting a focused transfer process without a paid plan. It is less suitable for people who need a computer-based transfer or backup workflow, or who need migration in the opposite direction. Buyers should also set expectations around app coverage, since only some free apps are matched and transferred. Choose it for a direct Android-to-Apple move; consider another category of tool when the requirement extends beyond that one-direction phone migration.
