How to Transfer Contacts from Android to iPhone XS or XS Max
Use the Effective Data Transferring Tool- Switch Mobile Transfer
It’s advisable to use an effective software solution in transferring contacts from Android to an iPhone XS, especially if you have a very large number of contacts to move.
Switch Mobile Transfer is an effective migration utility designed to transfer data files, including contacts, between Android and iPhone (XS, XR, or Max). The software gives you the power and flexibility to control what is being transferred.
Guide:
Install the Switch Mobile Transfer software on your PC or desktop. Also enable the USB debugging mode on your Android to allow connection to the computer.
Step 1 Select the Phone to Phone Transfer mode
Then, open the tool to select the Phone to Phone Transfer mode as displayed.
After this, connect your iPhone XS , XS Max or XR and Android to the computer.
Step 2 Scan for the Source device
The software will scan the connected devices to ascertain Source and Destination devices between the two. When this happens, the names and icons of both devices are displayed on the screen. The Android should be shown as the Source device and the iPhone XS as the Destination device. If otherwise, use the Flip button to correct this.
Afterwards, you’ll see options for Android data (including contacts) to copy to iPhone XS on the middle pane.
Step 3 Choose the appropriate files and transfer
Select Contacts option and then click on the displayed Start Transfer button to begin the copying process. The progress of the transfer operation would be seen on the window.
Make sure to see the process completed before disconnecting the devices from the computer.
After the contact files have been imported, disconnect your devices and check the iPhone address book to see if the contacts are intact.
