Having an up-to-date contacts list on your phone is crucial for staying in touch with friends and family. However, manually moving hundreds of contacts from one device to another is extremely tedious.
The good news is that if your contacts are synced with Facebook, you can transfer them from Android to iPhone fairly easily using services like iCloud or Google Contacts. This saves you time and ensures no contacts get left behind.
In this article, we’ll explore three easy methods for syncing Facebook contacts from Android to iPhone.
1. Using Move to iOS App
The Move to iOS app provided by Apple is the simplest way to transfer contacts and other data from Android to iPhone. Here are the steps:
- Download and install the Move to iOS app on your Android phone.
- On your iPhone, select Move Data from Android during initial setup. A code will appear.
- Open the Move to iOS app on your Android device and enter the code.
- On the Transfer Data screen, select Contacts and any other data you wish to transfer.
- The app will now sync and transfer your Facebook contacts from Android to iPhone automatically via a peer-to-peer Wi-Fi connection.
2. Using iCloud
If you have already set up your iPhone, you can sync Facebook contacts by backing them up to iCloud:
- On your Android phone, export your Facebook contacts to a VCF file.
- On your computer, visit icloud.com and sign in to your iCloud account.
- Go to Contacts and import the VCF file from your Android phone.
- On your iPhone, enable Contacts syncing in iCloud settings to sync the imported contacts.
3. Using Google Contacts
If you have your Facebook contacts synced to your Google account, you can sync them to your iPhone using that:
- On your Android device, enable contact syncing in your Google account settings.
- On your iPhone, add your Google account and enable contact syncing.
- Your Facebook contacts from Google will automatically sync to your iPhone.
Conclusion
Syncing Facebook contacts from Android to iPhone ensures you keep in touch with friends when you switch devices. Whether using Move to iOS, iCloud, or Google, the process is fairly quick and simple.
Within minutes, you can seamlessly transfer your Facebook contacts to your new iPhone without any manual exporting or importing. Use one of these methods to save time and avoid missing important contacts after making the switch from Android.
