How To Transfer Contacts From iPhone to Android Without Computer

Acquiring a new Android device is always exciting. But when you remember switching from an iPhone, you'll feel bothered about how to transfer data to your new device.

As we all know, Android and iPhone do not run the same operating system. So, if you want to transfer only contacts from iPhone to Android without a computer, you will find the process tricky. But don't worry. We are here to help you out!

This guide will show you how to transfer iPhone contacts to Android without a computer. Read on!

Part 1: How To Transfer Contacts From iPhone to Android Without Computer

We've explored five different techniques to transfer contacts from iPhone to Android. So, read on to find the best methods to suit your needs.

Method 1: Transfer iPhone Contacts to Android Without Computer via MobileTrans App

Our first recommended method to transfer iPhone contacts to Android is the MobileTrans app. It's an iPhone and Android-compatible app that enables users to transfer data between iPhone and Android wirelessly.

The app can transfer eight types of phone data, including videos, photos, contacts, and lots more, and what's more impressive about it is that you don't need to factory reset existing data on your Android to complete the data transfer process. See the steps to use this app below;

Step 1: Install the MobileTrans app on your Android.

Step 2: Open the app, then select Phone Transfer to proceed. The iPhone should be the Old Phone, while the Android should be the New Phone.

Step 2: Select Contacts as the preferred data you want to transfer. Tap Send.

Step 3: Select the QR Code to establish a connection between both devices.

Step 4: MobileTrans will start transferring contacts on your iPhone to Android. The process usually takes only a few minutes to finish.

Method 2: Move Contacts from iPhone to Android Without Computer via E-mail

You can use the Gmail app on your iPhone to transfer contacts from iPhone to Android without a PC, and the process is pretty straightforward.

However, this method is inefficient if you're looking to transfer many contacts, as it only allows the transfer of a maximum file size of 25 MB.

See how this works below;

Step 1: Open Contacts on your iPhone and select the contact you intend to share.

Step 2: Tap Share Contact and select Gmail from the pop-up.

Step 3: Enter an email address signed in on the Android phone and send the contacts.

• Afterward, open Gmail on your Android and access the contact you sent.

• You don't need to install a third-party app.
• It's free.

Method 3: Using Google Drive

Google Drive is also effective for the operation. But unlike the previously recommended methods, you can't use this method to transfer contacts selectively. It allows you to sync all the contacts on your iPhone directly to Google Contacts via backup. The steps are as follows;

Step 1: Launch the Google Drive app on your iPhone.

Step 2: Tap the menu bar from the top-left and select Settings.

Step 3: Select Backup.

Step 4: Tap Contacts and turn on the toggle next to Backup to Google Contacts.

Step 5: Go back to the previous page and tap Start Backup to back up your iPhone contacts to Google Drive.

Step 6: Open the Settings app on Android and go to Accounts. Then, add the Google accounts you used to create a backup of your iPhone contacts.

Step 7: Tap Account Sync. Then, enable the toggle next to Contacts to complete the operation.

Pros

• It's free.
• It's easy to operate.
• No third-party app is required.

Cons

• You cannot transfer contacts selectively.

Method 4: Adding Google Account

You can also transfer contacts from iPhone to Android via your Google Account. All you have to do is to sync the contacts with your Google Account.

But note that his method will sync contacts between your Android and iPhone. So, it might not be a good choice if you don't want to mix up the contacts on both devices.

Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone. Scroll down and select Contacts.

Step 2: Tap Accounts and select Add Accounts.

Step 3: Select Google and Sign in to a Google account linked to your Android phone.

Step 4: Once you add the Google Account, tap on it and turn on the toggle next to Contacts.

Step 5: Your iPhone contacts should automatically sync to your Android phone.

Pros

• It's easy to use.
• You don't need to install a third-party app.

Cons

• It syncs contacts between Android and iPhone.

Method 5: Using Switch to Android

The Google Switch to Android is another app you can use to transfer contacts from iPhone to Android without a computer. However, this is unreliable if your Android phone is not brand new, as you will have to factory reset existing data on your phone.

Step 1: Install the Google Switch to Android app on your iPhone from App Store.

Step 2: Open the app, accept the terms and conditions, and tap Start to begin the operation.

Step 3: Allow Switch to Android app to access your iPhone's camera. Then, scan the QR Code on your Android. If it does not work, turn on the hotspot on your Android and connect your iPhone WiFi to it.

Step 4: Turn off iMessage.

Step 5: Tap on Start Request and log in using your Apple ID. Next, tap Request and complete the on-screen instructions to initiate the transfer process.

Step 6: Switch to Android will start transferring contacts on your iPhone to Android. Just wait for the process to complete.

Pros

• The app is lightweight.
• It's free.
• Selectively transfer contacts.

• The process is a bit confusing.
