4. How to transfer songs from iPhone to Android

When you switch from iPhone to Android, you can always transfer your music the old-fashioned way by manually moving files from one phone to another. That said, some of you probably find it easier to just upload your songs to Google Play Music. Of course, this is because you have all your music on your computer.



Let's assume you're using iTunes, for obvious reasons. Make sure you go to iTunes and download any music you may have purchased from your phone that isn't saved locally.


Once you've done that, use Google Music Manager to upload all your music to Google Play Music. This will sync across all Android devices, but the main problem is that if the file isn't downloaded, you'll use the data while playing. Make sure you add or download songs you want to listen to offline.

  2. Install the program and run it.
  3. During setup, there will be an option for upload songs to Google Play.

  5. Relax and let the program upload all your songs to Google Play Music.

Can you transfer apps from iPhone to Android?

Unfortunately, iOS and Android are very different ecosystems, as are the apps that run on these operating systems. You can't just press a button and automatically get your apps back. Many popular apps for social networks, games, and more also exist in the realm of Android. Before buying your new Android, we recommend that you search Google Play online to make sure there are no missing apps absolutely crucial to your phone experience.

Note that if these are premium apps, you will need to purchase them again. Annoying, but ultimately not a big deal for most people unless you use a lot of premium apps.
