hi, I bought an iPad for my elderly mom (to replace her now defunct desktop). I'd like to connect her android phone or at least be able to transfer data (such as contacts and photos) from her phone to her iPad. Is there a way to do that?

If she's using Gmail for contacts and google photos for photos, you can add her gmail account in Settings ➜ Apps ➜ Mail ➜ Accounts ➜ Add Account and Settings ➜ Apps ➜ Contacts ➜ Accounts ➜ Add Account.
For Photos you can download the Google Photos from App Store and log in with her account.

For anything else you can use the Move to iOS App when setting up the iPad to transfer all her info.
click here ➜ Move from Android to iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Apps will not be transferred though. You will need to find and download the compatible versions in the Apple App Store.
