How to Transfer Android Data to iPhone Without a Cable


[Home Page] [] []

 Switching from Android to iPhone but don’t have a USB cable? No problem. You can still move all your contacts, photos, apps, and messages wirelessly. This AvNexo guide explains how to transfer Android data to iPhone safely and efficiently without using a cable — perfect for users in the U.S. and Canada.

Why Transfer Without a Cable?

Many Android users prefer wireless transfer because:

  • They’ve lost or damaged the original cable.

  • New iPhones no longer include USB adapters.

  • It’s faster and more convenient than connecting devices manually.

Apple’s Move to iOS app and cloud services make the process seamless.

Step 1: Prepare Both Devices

Before transferring data:

  • Charge both phones above 50%.

  • Connect them to the same Wi-Fi network.

  • Update Android to the latest version (Settings › System › System Update).

  • On your new iPhone, make sure it’s not yet set up — or reset it to start fresh.

Step 2: Use the Move to iOS App

Apple’s official Move to iOS app is the simplest and safest option for wireless transfer.

  1. On your Android phone, download Move to iOS from the Google Play Store.

  2. On your iPhone, begin setup and choose Move Data from Android when prompted.

  3. On Android, open the Move to iOS app and tap Continue.

  4. Enter the six-digit code displayed on your iPhone.

  5. Choose what to transfer — contacts, photos, messages, apps, and calendars.

  6. Tap Next and wait for the transfer to finish.

⚠️ The process may take 10–30 minutes depending on your data size and Wi-Fi strength.

Step 3: Transfer Files Using Google Cloud

If you’ve already set up your iPhone and don’t want to reset it:

  1. On Android, back up data to Google Drive:

    • Open Settings › Google › Backup.

    • Enable Back up to Google Drive and wait until complete.

  2. On iPhone:

    • Install Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos from the App Store.

    • Sign in with the same Google account to access your contacts, photos, and files instantly.

This method doesn’t require Move to iOS or a reset.

Step 4: Transfer WhatsApp Data (Optional)

WhatsApp now supports cross-platform migration between Android and iPhone — wirelessly.

  1. Install WhatsApp on your iPhone.

  2. Open Settings › Chats › Transfer Chats from Android.

  3. Follow the on-screen QR code instructions on your Android phone.

All your messages and media will appear on your new iPhone within minutes.

Step 5: Sync Other Files via Third-Party Cloud Apps

For documents, videos, and audio files, you can use:

  • Dropbox

  • OneDrive

  • Send Anywhere

  • SHAREit

These apps are widely supported in the U.S. and Canada and don’t need cables.

AvNexo Tip

Avoid using cheap “wireless transfer” apps not verified by Apple — they often inject ads or corrupt data. Stick to Move to iOS, Google Drive, or trusted cloud services.

Also, ensure both devices stay connected to Wi-Fi during transfer; interrupting the connection may cause partial data loss.

Final Thoughts

Transferring Android data to iPhone without a cable is quick and secure using Move to iOS or Google Drive. Whether you’re upgrading in the U.S. or Canada, following this AvNexo guide guarantees your contacts, photos, and files migrate smoothly to your new iPhone — no cables required.
