Transfering data with Move to iOS

I'm trying to transfer from a Samsung Galaxy S10 to an iPhone 13 Pro. How long does it typically take to transfer data over? My samsung phone has been "Preparing" for over 40 minutes after choosing what to transfer (under 10 GB of data).

You are welcome.


Yes. If can take hours. If concerned, then place your devices atop laptop coolers.

A Long Time:

It can take quite some time. And time will increase tremendously, if performing this over Cellular.
