How to transfer information from my iPhone to an Android smartphone in a simple way

Apple launched a couple of years ago an application on Google Drive that allows us to transfer information from our Android smartphone to our new iPhone device. According to Apple, this application has been a great success among users, which has increased the number of Android users who have recently switched to Apple's mobile platform. But if you are an iPhone user and for whatever reason you have tired of iOS, Google has just updated the Google Drive application, adding a new option that allows us to transfer all the information from our terminal to the Android smartphone that we have selected as our smartphone for daily use.

Google has taken a long time to launch this application, but it is better late than never, since so far the only way to carry out the transfer of information was by resorting to third-party applications They also forced us to use a computer, especially when transferring both images and videos.

Migrate your iPhone data to Android

• First of all we must install on our iPhone or iPad (it also works on the Apple tablet) the latest version of Google Drive.
• Once installed we must go to Settings> Backup. All the information that we can transfer to our terminal managed by Android will be shown below: contacts, calendar events and the photos and videos that we have stored in our terminal. All content protected by DRM as well as applications will not be transferred and we will have to buy them again from the Play Store if they are available.
• Both the Contacts and Events tabs of the Calendar are marked by default, so we only have to go to Photos and videos so that all the content of our reel is included in the backup that later we will transfer in our terminal.
• Then click on Start backup. The application will ask us for permission to access our Contacts and Calendar, access that we must allow so that the application can make the backup that will later be downloaded to our terminal.

• The process can take several hours so it is recommended put the device to charge and leave it with the application open.

• Once the process is finished, all the images and videos will be found available through the Google Photos app, so they will not take up space on our device and we will always have them at hand, as long as we have an internet connection.
• Regarding the contacts, these will be found in our agenda, in a new group with the name of our device.
• Calendar events will be available in a new calendar named as the device name.
