Migration from iPhone to Google Phones

If you are NOT any of the following, the following is the ONLY technical support service that I could provide to you, regarding migration from iPhone to Google Phones:
  • paying customers
  • contributor of TeamViewer License Contribution Project
  • my family members
  • a close friend defined by me
In general, you need to do the following:
  1. export data (Contacts and Calendar) from iCloud, save it as vCard and ICS files on your computer
  2. import data into Google Contacts and Calendar
  3. setup Google phone connecting to your Google account
For exporting data files from iCloud

Follow steps on this page to export your data from iCloud, save them onto your computer.

Using Google Services as Primary

After the above steps, your primary location for storing contacts and calendar will be Google Services.  You should create, save, edit and manage contacts and calendar events on your Google account, instead of iCloud.


On your Mac/iPhone/iPad, setup your iOS devices to be synchronized/able to access with Google Services.
