Method 2. Transfer Data One by One from iPhone to Android for Free

Apart from Dr.Fone – Phone Transfer, there are several free methods available for iPhone to Android data transfer. These options may require a bit more time but still allow you to move your files effectively between devices.

• Part 1. Transfer Apps from iPhone to Android
• Part 2. Transfer contacts from iPhone to Android via iCloud
• Part 3. Transfer iPhone text messages to Android with 2 Android apps
• Part 4. Transfer Photos from iPhone to Android
• Part 5. Transfer Video and Music from iPhone to Android
• Part 6. Transfer Calendars from iPhone to Android

Part 1. Transfer Apps from iPhone to Android

As you know, apps on iPhone are in .ipa, .pxl, or .deb formats, while Android apps are .apk files. Thus, it's impossible to directly install iPhone apps on your Android phone or tablet, let alone transfer app data from iPhone to Android. However, many iPhone apps have their corresponding Android versions, which you can download from Google Play Store.

Search Google Play on the internet and then search the apps that you play on your iPhone. Then, download and install the apps on your Android phone or tablet.

Part 2. Transfer Contacts from iPhone to Android via iCloud

When moving from iPhone to Android, contacts are often the first data users want to migrate. However, due to differences in SIM card sizes and storage formats, this step can be tricky. iPhone contacts are usually stored in phone memory, not on the SIM card, and while some Android devices also support nano SIM cards, others still use larger ones. Understanding these differences helps ensure a smooth iPhone to Android data transfer process.  That means, it's not available to just insert iPhone sim card on Android phone, which usually works in transferring contacts from Android to Android.

Don't worry. If you like saving iPhone contacts to accounts, like iCloud, and Google, it's easy to do iPhone to Android contact transfer. Here, I take iCloud as an example.

Step 1. On your iPhone, navigate to Settings and select iCloud.

Step 2. Sign in to your iCloud account and turn on Contacts to sync contacts between iPhone and iCloud. Calendars can also be ticked at the same time, and then sync the calendar from iCloud to Android.

Step 3. Open the browser and land iCloud main page. Then, click Contacts to enter the contact management panel. Click Show Actions Menu and click Export vCard…. Then, contacts in iCloud will be saved as a vCard file on the computer.

Step 4. Plug a USB cable to connect your Android phone or tablet to computer. When it's recognized, go and open the SD card of your Android phone. Cut and paste the exported vCard file to the SD card folder.

Step 5. Navigate to the Contacts app on your Android phone. Tap the menu icon left to the main button and you get the menu list. Tap Import/Export and choose Import from USB storage. Then, import the vCard file to your Android phone.

Part 4. Transfer Photos from iPhone to Android

Note: By using this way, you can export photos in iPhone Camera Roll to Android phone. However, as for the photos in the Photo Library, you still have no way to expect using some third-party tool, like Dr.Fone - Phone Transfer.
