Today I saw very interesting news about a new and useful function Yandex.Disk. New Feature allows you to transfer data (contacts, sms, call history and bookmarks from the built-in browser) from the old mobile phone on new. Soon there will be a holiday New Year and therefore, many will receive a gift from Santa Claus - a mobile phone, smartphone, and so on. And this function from Yandex.Disk will come in handy.

If anyone else is unfamiliar with the Yandex.Disk service and how to increase it by 20 GB, then read it. Well, if you are familiar or have already read and registered, then you can continue. This function Yandex.Disk called mobile moving, which facilitates the transfer of data from an old mobile phone to a new one. The service supports platforms such as Java, Symbian or Windows Mobile, Android and iPhone. You can transfer the following data:

  • Contacts;
  • call history;
  • Browser bookmarks.

By the way, there are comments from the Yandex service, I quote:

“Only contacts can be transferred from Java-based phones. You can also transfer only contacts to iPhone. Yandex.Moving will help you transfer only those contacts that are stored in the phone's memory. To also transfer contacts from the SIM card, simply move it to the new phone.”

To use the fictitious mobile move, you need to be registered with Yandex. Next, go to the service and enter the model of the old and new mobile phone in the appropriate input fields.

After that, instructions for moving will appear, that is, transferring data from an old mobile phone to a new phone. It remains to carefully read and act according to the instructions. But a message may also appear “Sorry, the service does not yet support your phone model”.

If for some reason you decide to switch from iOS to Android, then the problem of moving data is simply inevitable. Today I will teach you how to solve it. In particular, we will talk about moving contacts.

Google to the rescue

In my humble opinion, Google service on the this moment is the most convenient cloud storage. You can store any data, including your contacts, and thus have access to them in any part of the world from any device. So, how to sync your iPhone with your Google account:

  1. Go to Settings on your iPhone.
  2. Now find the item "Mail, Addresses, Calendars". Open it.
  3. To enter your credentials, click "Add account".
  4. Select Google.
  5. Enter data.
  6. Opposite the items that you want to synchronize, put the switches in the "On" position. The data will be synced. The whole process looks like this:

7. Now you need to add an account to your android device. How to do this, read the article: Android: how to move contacts to new smartphone?

Complicated but reliable: YANDEX.PEREEZD

The whole procedure goes like this:

  • you must have access to your cloud on Yandex (it is through it that the transfer will take place);
  • you install two applications: one on an android device, the other on an iPhone;
  • perform synchronization.

And now in more detail:

  1. Install the Yandex.Moving application on your iPhone.

3. Now install the Yandex.Disk application on your android device. Log in and go to Settings.


Export from iCloud

If you have ever used iCloud, then all the contacts are already there, you just have to export them. For this:

  1. Go to the site with Safari, log in.

2. Go to "Contacts" and select them all at once (click on one, hold down "Command+A").

3. In the left corner there is a "gear", these are settings. Click on it and select "Export files as vCard".

5. Now log into your account from your android device, contacts are synced.

Export using the My Contacts Backup app

The method is somewhat similar to the previous one, but the contacts file is generated directly from the smartphone.

  1. Download and install the My Contacts Backup application.

3. Now click on "Email". Enter the data and a vCard file will be sent to your mail. Next, import it to your android device or to Google account, as described in the previous paragraph.

Easier with iTunes

iPhone must be connected to PC (or Mac).

  1. Select your device.
  2. Open the Information tab.
  3. Check the "Sync contacts with..." checkbox.
  4. From the list select " Google Contacts" (enter your account details by clicking on "Configuration").
  5. And after all that, click "Apply".

Brief summary

As you can see, this article gives you a complete understanding of how to move contacts from your iPhone to a device on android base. Each method is 100% effective. Just choose the most convenient and follow the detailed instructions. And you will succeed, good luck!

The Yandex.Moving app will help you quickly transfer contacts between devices on different platforms.

Apple technology makes you fall in love at first sight and for a long time. However, many today iOS devices have become unaffordable, the reason for this is mainly the financial crisis. Even before the crisis, they were not cheap, but after the fall of the ruble, the prices for i-gadgets became absolutely sky-high.

That is why more and more Russian Apple fans are switching to Android smartphones lately. And the main question that the “defectors” face is how to transfer their contacts from iPhone to Android. There are many answers to it. In this article, we will talk about the most popular ways to transfer contacts from iPhone to Android.

By the way, you will find here the answer to the opposite question - how can I transfer contacts from a smartphone on the Android platform to the iPhone. But more on that later, but for now let's talk ...

gmail

Google mail is a great way to send contacts for those who have a Gmail account. In order to transfer data using it, we execute the following data sequence:

  • iPhone manipulations:

  1. We unlock the smartphone and go to the "Settings" section.
  2. We look for the line “Mail, addresses, calendars” in it, tap on it.
  3. In the menu that opens, in the "Accounts" section, select the "Add account" item.
  4. A new window will appear in front of you - in it you need to tap on the line "Google" and log in.
  5. In the next window, move the slider opposite the "Contacts" item to the active position - this means that phone numbers now synchronized with mail.

Here and below, instructions are given for Samsung smartphone. Why? Correctly! Because Samsung is the most popular android smartphone. However, the menu items for all gadgets running the "green robot" are almost identical.

  1. We take an Android device and go to the "Settings" menu in it, tap the "Accounts and sync" item.
  2. In the new window, select Google and go into it (needless to say, the account you log in to from the Android device must be identical to the one you specified on the iPhone).
  3. We select the items for synchronization - we are interested in "Contacts", put a tick in front of the corresponding line.
  4. All! Now all your numbers should appear in the phone book of your android smartphone.

iTunes

If during the operation of the iPhone you were faced with the question of how to transfer music to a smartphone from a PC, you, of course, are familiar with the iTunes program firsthand, because the exchange of files between a computer and an “apple” gadget is possible only through it. Of course, as you may have guessed, you can also synchronize contacts using this program.

How to copy phonebook data from using iTunes? We perform the following steps:

  • iPhone manipulations:
  1. Connect iPhone to PC.
  2. We are waiting for iTunes to start and the device to be identified.
  3. We click on the recognized iPhone, in the menu that appears, select the "Information" section.
  4. Now check the "Sync Contacts" checkbox, and in the drop-down menu, click on Google Contacts and perform synchronization.

  • Manipulations with Android smartphone

With the android device, we perform all the same manipulations as in the previous instructions:

  1. Go to "Settings", then "Accounts and sync".
  2. We select Google, log in and indicate "Contacts" as one of the synchronization points.

iCloud

iCloud- cloud service from Apple, which can store any data that the user has on the phone, including, of course, contacts from the iPhone. And, therefore, it is very logical that this service can also be used to transfer contacts from iPhone to Android. Moreover, the user has the opportunity to choose one of three methods:

iCloud+browser

To transfer contacts using this method, you will need a stationary PC with the ability to access the Internet. What do we do? Here is the sequence of actions:

  1. Let's open the browser, go to the iCloud website - for this you need an Apple ID, but we have no doubt that you have it, otherwise, how would you download applications in App Store.
  2. In the menu that opens, select the "Contacts" item, wait until all the numbers are loaded.
  3. Select all contacts and click on the "gear" on the left, in the drop-down menu, click on the item "Export vCard" - at the moment a VCF extension file will be created - all contacts will be saved in it.
  4. It remains to transfer this file to the android device and run it on it - when you run the file, all numbers will automatically be transferred to the contacts of your new smartphone.

iCloud + other cloud service

This method is good because you don’t need a stationary PC, we’ll get by with smartphones and, for example, the DropBox program - the corresponding application must be installed on both the iPhone and the Android gadget (you can also use another cloud service - OneDrive, for example). So, we perform the following steps:

  • iPhone manipulation
  1. Using the Safari mobile browser, go to the iCloud website using your Apple ID.
  2. Tap the "Contacts" menu, then the "gear" and select the "Select All" item.
  3. Let's wait until all the numbers turn "blue", click on the "gear" again and select the "Export vCard" item this time - the process of creating a VCF file will begin.
  4. When the file is generated, Safari will automatically open new page, and you will need to click on the "Open in ..." item and select DropBox (or, as we said above, another cloud service) from the proposed options.

  • Android manipulation
  1. Open the DropBox app on your Android smartphone.
  2. We download the generated VCF file from the cloud and wait until it automatically exports contacts to the phone book.
  3. That's all you can study the transferred list!

iCloud+CardDav

Another cool way to transfer data to your note is iCloud + CardDav application. To transfer data using it, we only need an Android smartphone with the CardDav program installed on it. Here's what to do:

  1. We download the application.
  2. We select the CardDav account, specify p02-contacts.icloud.com as the server, Apple ID data as the username and password.
  3. We set any name for the created account, put a tick in the box "Synchronize only from the server to the phone", click "Finish".
  4. Ready! In a few seconds, all numbers from iCloud will be transferred to your android smartphone.

Special applications

Well, since we are talking about programs that allow you to transfer contacts from Android to iPhone, we can't help but talk about three very attractive applications.

"Yandex.Moving"

The name is very eloquent, right? Transferring contacts from one phone to another using Yandex.Move is very simple. We perform the following actions:

  • iPhone manipulations:
  1. Install "Yandex.Disk".
  2. We log in using the login and password created for the Yandex.Moving application.
  3. We go into the program menu, click "Settings", then "Moving from phone to phone."
  4. We enter the code generated when transferring contacts to the cloud, and tap on the “Start transfer” item.
  5. Ready! After a few seconds, the synchronization will complete.

My Contacts Backup

Another answer to the question - how to synchronize the phone books of an iPhone and an android smartphone - is the My Contacts Backup application. With him, everything is even easier than with Yandex.Moving.

  • iPhone manipulations:
  1. Install My Contacts Backup.
  2. Open the program, click the Backup button - the process of creating a VCF file will begin.
  3. File generated? Select the Email button and send an email with it to your inbox.
  • Android manipulations:
  1. We go to the mail from the smartphone and load the VCF file.
  2. The transfer of numbers to the phone book of the Android gadget will be performed automatically.

Bump

And finally, we have saved for you another cool Bump program - it allows you to transfer contacts as simply as possible:

  1. On both smartphones, install the application and launch it.

An important point - both devices must also be connected to the Internet.

  1. We open the list of contacts on the iPhone, wait until the program finds phones available for transfer.
  2. Once desired device is detected, a "Bump now!" button will appear.
  3. Appeared? Click "Connect" and watch the "miracle", all numbers will be transferred from the iPhone to the Android device.

By the way, you probably already guessed that this method works as conveniently as possible in both directions, that is, you can also transfer contacts from android to iPhone using it. As a matter of fact, My Contacts Backup, Yandex.Moving and Gmail services are also perfect for transferring contacts from Android to iPhone.

Let's summarize

As you can see, you no longer need to transfer numbers manually or send them via SMS as before - there are a lot of ways to transfer contacts from one smartphone to another today, even if the devices work on different platforms. Isn't progress so great?!

Changing the phone has always been problematic. Starting from problems with getting used to the new model, ending with the transfer of personal data. The situation seems really deplorable if you actively used the phone, had hundreds of entries in the contact book, dozens of important notes and a huge database of warm hearted SMS messages. Yandex decided to make our lives much easier and introduced a new Yandex.Moving service.

Thanks to the Yandex.Moving service, which is part of Yandex.Disk, you will forever forget about reading multi-page manuals that come with your phone, looking for tips on the Internet, and getting rid of the need to beg a familiar programmer to help you transfer contacts from your old phone to a new one. Now everything is very simple - just go to the official Yandex.Moving page, specify the phone models on which you need to perform the magic contact transfer operation and get a more than detailed solution to the problem specifically for your situation.

How to transfer contacts from iPhone to iPhone:

Step 1. Go to the Yandex.Moving page

Step 2. In columns old phone and New phone select Apple iPhone

Step 3. Install the Yandex.Moving app on your old phone. You can get a direct link to the app's page in the App Store by entering your phone number on the site.

Step 4. On the Yandex.Moving website, in paragraph No. 3, enter the pin code you received in the application

Step 5. Go to the menu Settings -> Mail, addresses and calendars. Click Add, select an item Other and in the window that opens, select CardDAV account

Step 6. Enter the following information:

  • Server: yandex.ru
  • User: your Yandex login
  • Password: your password
  • Description: Yandex

Step 7. Open standard application Contacts on your device and wait for the sync to finish

More detailed instructions is available directly on the Yandex.Moving website. There you can also get information on how to set up the Internet on your phone.

Attention: to transfer contacts, you must have a Yandex account, which can be registered by going to this address.

You can transfer contacts from any phone to iOS control, Android, Symbian and Windows Mobile. FROM Windows phone, BlackBerry OS and Bada's this moment transfer contacts to new iPhone will not work, but work is underway to create a tool for such transfers. As for transferring contacts from phones that work with Java applications, then you need to specify support for your model directly on the Yandex.Peerezda website.
