Smart Switch app works perfectly on both Android devices and desktop computers. The mobile app transfers data between devices, while the desktop app is primarily used for backing up and restoring data.
The mobile app lets you move data from an iPhone or another Android to a Samsung phone. This includes media files, contacts, documents, call logs, and messages. If both devices run on Android, you can also transfer account data, voice memos, and other details.
Step 1. Download the Smart Switch app and launch it for data transfer. You can connect your devices through a USB cable or Wi-Fi.
Step 2. Now choose between Android or iOS as the source device. Choose the "iOS" option. The target device must be a Samsung phone. Choose either device memory or SD card and connect both devices. If connecting wirelessly, ensure they are located close to each other.
Step 3. To authenticate the connection, enter a code that is generated only once. After the devices are connected successfully, you should choose the data type you want to transfer. Wait for some time for the Smart Switch mobile app to finish transferring the files. Once done, you can access the transferred files to your Samsung phone.
Though there's no Smart Switch app for iPhone devices, you can use its desktop version to move data from an iPhone to Samsung Galaxy. The Smart Switch application for PC/Mac can identify any iTunes backups you may have made on your computer.
It allows you to retrieve the relevant data from the iTunes backup and transfer it to your Samsung Galaxy phone. The following instructions will guide you through transferring iPhone data from an iTunes backup to a Samsung device. Here are the steps:
Step 1. Start by Backing Up iPhone to iTunes
To back up all the data on your iPhone, first plug it into your PC using a lightning cable. Then, open iTunes, go to "Summary", and click "Back Up Now". Remember not to select the Encrypt iPhone backup option because Smart Switch won't be able to detect an encrypted backup.
Step 2. Install Smart Switch and Connect Samsung Phone
Ensure your PC runs on Windows XP, a newer version, or a Mac with a Mac OS 10.6 and above. After that, download the Smart Switch Mobile app on a Samsung phone so that it can be detected by the app on your desktop.
Also, download the Smart Switch app on your computer. Connect it to the computer, keep it unlocked, and choose the MTP USB option.
If you don't install the app on your Samsung phone, the Smart Switch app won't connect with your Samsung phone.
Step 3. Select the iTunes Backup You Want to Transfer
On your computer, tap on "Restore", select the "Select a different backup" option and choose "iTunes backup data". You will see the size and number of data in the backup, and you can click on the folder icon to choose a different backup if needed.
Step 4. Restore Data to Samsung
When you restore your iPhone backup to your Samsung device, all the data, like photos, messages, call logs, contacts, memos, videos, and documents, will be restored by default.
If you don't want to restore some data, you can simply uncheck those items. Tap "Ok" and "Restore Now" to start transferring your data.
That's it. As mentioned earlier, there is no Smart Switch iOS, but you can effortlessly move your data to a Samsung phone using the app. However, another approach that packs even more power is Coolmuster Mobile Transfer. Not only does it provide greater speed than the Smart Switch, but it also offers compatibility with numerous operating systems. So, this is a great alternative to Samsung Smart Switch.
