iPhone to Xiaomi

  1. Get Google Drive
    Make sure you have the latest version of Google Drive on your iPhone, then sign in to Drive with your Google Account. If you don’t have a Google Account, you can create one after you download Drive.
  2. Back up your stuff
    Back up your content in Google Drive. Pull up Settings in Google Drive, then tap Backup. You can pick specific things to store, or do it all at once. Your choice.
  3. Turn off iMessage
    Go to Settings and turn off iMessage on your iPhone. Also turn off FaceTime. So you won’t miss any messages or calls once you’ve switched to Android.
  4. Sign in on your new phone
    Sign in on your Android device with the same Google Account you used during backup. And just like that, you’re in. Your data will automatically be available in your Google Contacts, Calendar and Photos apps.
  5. Say Hello to Android
    Welcome to the world of Android. All your stuff is just where it should be: your calendar events, contacts, photos and videos. And there’s a ton of new things to discover. With Android, get more out of every moment.
