If I use the move to ios app, will the data, photos and contacts still be left on my android device? Thanks.

I just got an ipod touch. I want to copy data, pictures and content from the android to the ios device. Will the app move to ios leave everything on the android device and copy it to the ios device or will it move the data to the ios device and leave nothing on the android device.


On PCs, "copy" leaves the data in the original spot and copies it to the destination while, "move" transfers the data to the destination and removes the data from the original location.


Which does 'move to ios' do?


Thanks.

iPod touch, OS was updated but devicenot set up

Hello Harborseal12,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. I understand you'd like to copy some info from your Android phone to an iPod touch, and I have some information that may help.

As luck would have it, this process does not remove any information from the Android phone. Have a look at the article below for more information on using Move to iOS

If you run into any trouble, please reach out again.
​Best Regards.
