FAQs
How do I transfer contacts from Android to iPhone without a SIM card?
If your old Android phone didn’t use a SIM card, your contacts were likely synced to your Google account.
To get them on your new iPhone, just add your Gmail account. Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts > Add Account.
This will sync the contacts from your Google account to your new iPhone. Easy!
Is there an app to transfer contacts from Android to iPhone?
For transferring contacts, stick to official apps from Apple, Samsung, etc. Avoid third-party apps – you can’t be sure about their security and privacy.
The safest options are:
- Move to iOS (for switching from Android to iPhone)
- Smart Switch (for Samsung phones)
- Clone Phone (for OnePlus)
Can I transfer contacts via Bluetooth?
You can transfer contacts individually via Bluetooth. But it’s tedious if you have many contacts. I’d recommend using Move to iOS, Smart Switch or Clone Phone instead. They transfer all your contacts seamlessly in bulk. Only use Bluetooth if you just need to send one or two contacts. For full contact lists, use the official transfer apps.
