Data Backup from Android to iOS Device

I just moved from Android to iOS.I missed to backed app my Android data to iPhone. I want to check if is there any wayout to take backup with old Android phone if iphone already started as a New iPhone without taking any backups.


I was using an Android phone and I set up iPhone as a new device without any transfer. Is it possible to take Android data in this running iPhone if not complete then specifically SMS or text.


Possible way in my mind-

  • Current data Backup on iCloud then Reset the iPhone àback up with the Android device (in this case current iCloud backup will restore?)
  • Back from Android then Login Same Apple ID then Both Android data will Merged or iPhone has to be reset to restore iCloud data?


Please support.

  1. You may --> Move from Android to iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple ...
  2. If that fails or you do not want to attempt or have already set up your device. then...You can still transfer these data.
    1. Photos & Videos --> Upload to iCloud Photos using the same Apple ID that you have used on your iPhone. After upload, enable iCloud Photos on your iPhone. That's it.
    2. Contacts --> Contacts are not stored on an iPhone nor on SIM, they are synced to  Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other. Upload all your contacts to any of the above email client-server.
    3. Notes, Reminders, Calendars --> You may sync all these from any of the email accounts that you have. they are synced to  Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other. Upload all your data to any of the above email client-server.
    4. Any Specific Files --> Upload to Cloud Drives (iCloud Drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, Flickr, box, AmazonDrive, Adobe Creative Cloud and Use Files app on iPhone
    5. Apps --> In any way they have to be redownloaded using the App Store.
  3. SMS/MMS - Look for third-party apps that claim to transfer SMS/MMS from an Android device to an iOS. However, these apps/software has the risk of data being compromised and may or may not safeguard your data. Be well informed about the way the software will handle your data and then you may select the app/software
