Option 1: Using Samsung Smart Switch to Transfer Data from iPhone to Samsung

This method is only available if you have a Samsung Galaxy mobile. Because Samsung Smart Switch only allows data to be transferred from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy device. Follow the procedures below if your phone is a Galaxy smartphone.

Note: Before you begin, make sure both phones are fully charged. Due to the fact that data transfer could take a long time.

If you experience any issues, keep in mind a hard reset is optional as well.

To sync,

  • Go to Settings on your iPhone.
  • Tap on your Apple ID.
  • Tap on iCloud.
  • Select the data you want to sync.

To back up

  • Go to Settings on your iPhone.
  • Tap on .
  • Tap on iCloud.
  • Tap on iCloud Backup.
  • Tap on Back Up Now.

Now the data can be transferred wirelessly or using a USB cable.

 

2. Transfer data wirelessly.

Here, data is transferred from iCloud to your Samsung phone wirelessly. To do that follow the below steps.

  • Once the transfer is done, a summary page will appear. Tap on Close App to go back to the Home screen and disconnect the devices.

 

Option 2: Using iTunes

You can transfer the content from your iPhone to Samsung using iTunes backup with the help of the PC version of Samsung Smart Switch. Let’s jump into the steps.

  2. Connect the Samsung phone to the computer.
  3. Launch Smart Switch on the computer.
  4. Select the Restore feature.
  5. Click on Restore Now. The Smart Switch app will automatically detect the latest iTunes backup. The transfer will be started and the data in the iTunes backup file will be restored on your Samsung device.

 

Option 3:Using Third-party Apps
