Transfer contacts from Android to iPhone in real time - Here's how it works
Step 1: Add your Google Account on iPhone
First you have to set up the Google account, which is synchronized with your Android device, on the iPhone. To do so, open it:
- Settings --> Passwords & Accounts --> Add account
Now select "Google" in the list of possible accounts and tap Next. Then enter your access data and select the data you want to synchronize. The selection should include "Contacts". But you can also synchronize the calendar, emails, notes, etc.
After you save, your Google Account will be added to this iPhone.
Step 2: Activate Gmail as a contact account
After adding your Google Account in step 1, switch to it as your contacts account.
Open on the iPhone:
- Settings --> Contacts --> Standard accounts
Select Gmail instead of iCloud.
