Contacts sync to email accounts, both on Android and iPhones. So if you add the email account(s) that you had on your Android to your iPhone the contacts should sync to it.

I did it! Will leave instructions that helped me here. Maybe someone will find them usefull.


  1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
  2. Tap Contacts. You might need to scroll down.
  3. Tap Add account. If you've already synced a Google Account to your device, tap Accounts.
  4. Tap Add account    Google.
  5. Follow the instructions to sign in to your Google Account.
  6. Choose which Google apps to sync with your device. You can update these settings at any time.
  7. Tap Save.

To start syncing, open your iPhone or iPad's Contacts app.
