Q: Transfer Galaxy S4 Contacts and SMS to iPhone 7?

I have old Samsung Galaxy S4 and it is almost retired. I already saved money for iPhone 7 and plan to buy one once available. The only question is how to transfer text messages and contacts from the old S4 to iPhone 7.  Thanks

 

P.S. I didn't sync in with Gmail and Outlook

    To get the contacts, you will need to export them to a vcard file. There is also the transfer program in the Google Play to transfer information to an iOS device, but I do not believe it will transfer SMS. You would have to search the Google Play to get information about it. See if this Apple Support document helps. Move from Android to iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    I just used this app for the first time this past week and it did transfer SMS messages for my user. It worked better than I expected. Your mileage may vary, but give it a shot. Apple did it right with this app as it even suggested bringing in all the Android's Google apps, which it then proceeded to download. Awesome.

You would have to try some professional phone transfer program like Mobiledic to transfer messages from Android to iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 plus,
