Despite the fact that each platform in itself has created all kinds of services and conveniences for its users, the jump from one to another can become something tedious and traumatic And there is a lot of content that you never want to lose or misplace Whether it's the photos in the gallery, the long list of contacts that you don't want to copy them by hand, or all those appointments and calendar notes, songs and other content that end up being stored on the old device and want to be close at hand on the new one.Something that Apple and Google don't particularly provide, although there are other applications and tools to carry it out in a more or less simple and comfortable way. Here's how to switch from iPhone to Android taking all your favorite content with you.
Contacts
It is the first headache for users. And it is that they are not always stored on the card SIM Or it is necessary to acquire a new one and make a copy by hand. However, if the user leaving iPhone makes use of the virtues of iCloud, the Apple Cloud , there are a couple of convenient methods.
On the one hand there is the process manual This consists of accessing iCloud via PC and export all contacts as file vCardIn this way, it is possible to access through the computer the Google user account created for the terminal Android, go through the contacts section and load the file extracted from iCloud with all contacts.
The automatic way to carry out this process is offered by the application CardDAV-Sync free With it you can access from your mobileAndroid to different web services. Among them is iCloud Simply write the address in the name of the server: https://contacts.icloud.com , check the box SLL and enter the iCloud user data All contact information is automatically transferred to Android
Calendar
iPhone users have their own calendar tool also related to iCloud A convenience to avoid losing scheduled appointments, notes and events However, it is not so easy to synchronize them with Android. To do this, the SmoothSync for Cloud Calendar application allows you to enter the data from iCloud and automatically synchronize both dates as notes and noted events.

Just like using the app on iPhone
Photos and videos

Of course, another convenient option is to use the cloud or some Internet storage service The most recommended is Google Photos , since there is infinite space and no cost.All you have to do is install the application on iPhone and upload to this cloud all the photos and videos you wantOnce this step is done (it can also be done from the computer by extracting the photos and videos from the iPhone manually), all that remains is to install the application in the terminal Android By entering the same Google account, the user will have access to all photos and videos without having to download them in the terminal and taking up space. But always available to share, view or even edit
Music
Regarding music, Apple and its system through iTunes tend to make things somewhat difficult for users who want to give the Jump to Android. Difficult but not impossible. Just use the Google Play Manager application on your computer. In this way it is possible to synchronize the songs of iPhone in iTunes and, with Google Play Manager , collect them all.Thus, the application Google Play Music on the Android mobile will have access to all these songs that were previously on iPhone , being able to download them to the device or play them over the Internet.
