Android to iOS transferring call logs

Just moved from Android to iOS on a XR. Tried Move to iOS successfully, but call log didn’t transfer. I tried a few additional second party apps, like switch (the best IMO) mobiletrans, dr fone, X-Transfer. All were willing to transfer everything, except they noted log transfers not available.

I turned my Android call log into a pdf, using sms backup and restore in Android. They have a page on their site to view their xml file and print it out, which is where I made the pdf. But I’d rather have the log where it belongs.

There is no call log feature on an iPhone. There is Recents, which lists the last 100 calls, but it is not saved in backups and cannot be populated from other sources. However, you can see an 18 month or longer call log on your carrier’s account management site, and also in their app if they have one.

Here's what gets transferred: contacts, message history, camera photos and videos, web bookmarks, mail accounts, and calendars. If they're available on both Google Play and the App Store, some of your free apps will also transfer. After the transfer completes, you can download any free apps that were matched from the App Store.

Thanks, while all of those things are good, there are several apps that purport to do call log transfer, and they all do to some extent, especially non-photo files, which is great. But while they list call logs as one of the features, they don't do it for iOS 13.

Anyway there's only room for 100 calls/received log on iPhone.

Thanks. My carrier will have the numbers, but not the names associated from caller ID.

The iPhone won’t either, it doesn’t use the name from caller ID, only the phone number, which it matches with the Contact app. My carrier has a way to add contact names to my account.
