You can try Install this app apple.movetoios on your Android device is an app released by Apple to enable users to transfer a certain type of data including text messages. However, it requires an iPhone that has not yet been set up. Therefore, if your iPhone is in use, using Move to iOS will replace your iPhone data.


Step 1. Set up your new iPhone and go to Apps & Data


The screen displays several data management options including backup and data recovery. Click "Transfer data from Android".

You need to download and install the app on your Android phone to be able to transfer your messages to iPhone. Once turned on, you will be asked to enter a code generated on your iPhone.


Step 3. Transmission messages


Entering the code gives you access to the files you wish to transfer. Click on Messages Finally, click "Next" to start transferring

Hey there,


make sure both devices are up to date. On the new iPhone you can use: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


On your android device , are you using any network monitoring apps, like a Wi-Fi Analyzer? If so, you'd want to remove them and try the transfer again.


If that doesn't help try the steps in this article ☞ Move content manually from your Android device to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


You can also try removing all saved Wi-Fi networks on your android device your , then try again.
