Transfer all to your new Android phone using Google Drive
A few years ago, the switch from iPhone to Android was an odyssey, however Google simplified the process with Google Drive, your cloud storage service. On your Android phone, you may have Google Drive installed automatically, so open the application and sign in with your Google account. Repeat the process on the iPhone by downloading Google Drive from the App Store.
On your iPhone, open the Google Drive menu by going left and then taping on the settings wheel. You will find it at the top right. You will see that many options appear, but you have a great desire: "Backup".

Speaking of photos and videos, click on the section and select "High quality (unlimited and free storage)". That way all of the content will be uploaded to Google Photos, an app that almost completely safe will already be installed on your new Android phone and, in many cases, the default gallery app.
Google Images slowly compresses images to 16 megapixels in size and reduces video resolution in FullHD. Don't worry because such pressure does not appear at all. However, if you like and if you have less than 15 GB of photos and videos, you can choose the "original size" option to be saved in Google Drive without having to press.
When all is ready, click "Start backup", and give all the necessary permissions again wait f or it to finish
It's ready, now?

You don't have to do anything else. Your Android phone is synced with your Google Account, so you'll see that in the "Contacts" app all the numbers you had in the phone book appear, in the "Calendar" app that has all your events and all your photos are safe in Google Photos.
Don't forget your Google password, it will help you to lose data and contacts when changing phones in the future
What’s the good part of all this? That he can forget to repeat this process every time you change your phone. Whenever you add your Google account, all your events, contacts, and photos will be added to these teens without your intervention in any way.
As for applications, keep in mind that you will need to download them manually and that paid apps you bought on the App Store won't be paid on Google Play, so it will be time to return to Checkout.
