I’m trying to transfer contacts from a Samsung to an IPhone WITHOUT using a laptop/PC


I’ve tried emailing, Bluetooth etc but nothing works! The iPhone refuses to even recognise the file!


I found someone was asking the same question 10 years ago - surly this has been resolved by now?!


Cheers

You do not need any PC/Mac for contacts transfer. Simply add the email account which hosts your contacts and enable contacts.


Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other
