Step 1. Launch Dr.Fone

The first thing you need to do is launch the app, Dr.Fone on PC. After you start this app, you will see the option of “Phone Transfer.” In case you do not have a PC, you can use this app in the mobile version, which is available here.

Step 2. Connect both your Android and iPhone device to your PC

You’ve come a long way now. Was it easy? I guess so, as I find it easy to come up to this part. Now, you need to tick mark the text messages and click on the start button. Be patient, while this super-app will do all the heavy-duty for you in a quick time.

Part 2: Move SMS from iPhone to Android by Backup & Restore

The second method to successfully transfer your message from the iPhone to the new Android device is by using the backup and restore feature. Let me warn you about one thing. The method that I’m about to mention here is the most extended way to transfer your iPhone message to an Android device. It is a bit tricky, but don’t give up, as I will be revealing a step-by-step guide to applying this method correctly.

Step 1. Plug your iPhone to your PC and wait till the iTunes launch itself

Step 2. Click the iPhone tab on the upper right corner of the application.

Step 3. Then, select “This Computer” to backup your file to your PC.

Step 4. Select the location and then back up your file.

Step 5. Find out the location of the backup file. There is, however, no need to be surprised if you see your backup file with a weird name.

If you’re a Windows user, you will probably find your backup file in the location:

/Users/(Username)/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/Mobile Sync/Backup

In case you’re using iMac, your backup file will go to the location below:

/(user)/Library/Application Support/Mobile Sync/Backup

Check out the option-click on the Go menu if you cannot find your backup file.

Step 6. Your backup file is the one with the most recent timestamp.

Step 7. Time to do some manual work

Do not worry a lot, as this step is not going to be very technical. With that said, there is a need for you to do some manual work. At first, you need to move your backup file to your Android Device’ Storage. If you need to add more memory to your Android Device, it is wise to copy the backup file to your desktop to ensure that you can find that file easily in the future.

Step 8. Plug your Android Device to your PC

You should now explore the files in your Android Device via Windows Explorer or a Finder (OSX).

Step 9. Place your backup file to the main folder in your Android SD.

Step 10. Unplug your Android Device and Search for an App

Numerous apps can do the trick for you. Some of them are:

• SMS Export
• SMSBackUpandRestore
• iSMS2droid

For this tutorial, I will go with iSMS2droid.

Step 11. Launch the app and select “Select iPhone SMS Database.”

Step 12. Select the text messaging file and click on it.

Step 13. Select All-Text Messages

You should now instruct the application to convert all texts into an Android-friendly version by clicking “All”.

Part 3: Use smartphone manufacturers’ apps to move your SMS

Some manufacturers have made things simple for their customers. Some of the apps that you can use to transfer files are:

• Phone Clone for Huawei users
• Smart Switch for Samsung users
• Quick Switch Adaptor for Google Pixel.

I will explain the process of transferring files and SMS using Samsung Smart Switch. Samsung offers you a USB-OTG Cable.

Step 1. Connect your iPhone and your Samsung smartphone via USB-OTG Cable.

Step 2. Download Samsung Smart Switch from Playstore

Step 3. Open the App and permit them to transfer the files

Step 4. Select the Trust Button from the pop-up window

It will take some time for the app to locate and connect with your iPhone. The process may take some time if the size of the files in your iPhone is large. Do not interrupt the process.

Step 5. Choose Messages from the options
