Just downloaded all of my apps and information from Android phone to Iphone. All of my apps are visible on the Iphone but still need to be downloaded. Is there a Download All Apps feature that I am not seeing on the Iphone?

Is there a main app area on the phone to mass download transferred apps from a previous Android device.

Going through and indivuadally downloading each app is cumbersome as it redirects you to the app store every time almost not worth having an Iphone at this point if its not smart enough to notice the applications it has on the device and the app store do not sync.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

Android applications are not binary compatible with an iPhone. If the Android appilcation has an iOS version, you will need to locate it in the iOS App Store and formally install it from there as a proper iOS application. If it is an Android application that you purchased previously on Android, you will need to repurchase it in the iOS App Store.

These are all free and standard apps, such as google suite, youtube etc. . I downloaded the iOS transfer program. Just frustrating that the iPhone can see the apps on the phone but the app store can't see it. I would figure that the iOS program designed to transfer non iPhone information over to the iphone would be able to also throw apps that are available on both OS platforms into the appstore to mass convert instead of giving to the false hope that everything transferred.

Its just a very manual and cumbersome process. Was hoping that the apple store would be able to sync with the phone and see that there were apps that needed to be converted versus just floating in purgatory on the screen.

You are overly optimistic in the transfer process. There is labor involved.
