Help Needed: Transferring Messages from iPhone to Samsung Galaxy S24

I recently made the switch from an iPhone 13 to a Samsung Galaxy S24 and I'm thrilled with my new device. However, I'm facing a challenge that I'm sure some of you have navigated before. I have years of text messages on my iPhone that hold sentimental value, as well as important information, and I'm looking for the most efficient way to transfer these messages to my new Samsung Galaxy S24.


I've done some research and found a few methods online, but the information is overwhelming, and I'm concerned about losing data in the process. I'm reaching out to this community in hopes of finding a reliable method to transfer text messages from iPhone to Samsung Galaxy S24.


Thank you so much in advance for your help and guidance.

I just did a switch from iPhone 12 to Samsung Galaxy S24. For individual text message transfer, Dr.Fone is quite good option for doing that. It only took a few minutes to transfer my messages (roughly 2000) from my iPhone to Galaxy S24. Here is a quick guide you can check:

Make sure turn on USB debugging on Galaxy S24.


P.S. I tried Smart Switch software, but it was always stuck on the 70% and never proceeded.

When setting up a new Samsung, you can choose to transfer data from your iPhone using the "Move to Android" app. The app allows you to transfer various types of data, including contacts, messages, photos, videos, bookmarks, and even your Google accounts. It creates a secure Wi-Fi network between your iPhone and Samsung to facilitate the transfer process.

Use a OTG cable to connect iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S24.


Turn on your new Android device. When prompted, connect your new Android phone to your old iPhone using your Lightning to USB-C cable. In some cases, you might need an OTG adapter.


Follow the on-screen instructions to choose what to copy over — contacts, photos, messages, WhatsApp chats and more. Disable iMessage so you don't miss a notification.


That's it. You’ve copied over your most important data onto your new Samsung Galaxy phone.

Switching from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S24 is a pretty big leap, and it's awesome to hear you're loving your new device! Wanting to keep all those years of text messages is completely understandable—they're not just texts, but memories and important bits of information. Let's tackle this challenge together.


The good news is, transferring text messages from an iPhone to a Samsung device has become much simpler thanks to some handy tools. The most straightforward method involves using Samsung's own Smart Switch app. This app is a lifesaver for anyone moving from iOS to Samsung, and it does a pretty good job of moving your messages, along with other data like contacts, photos, and apps.
