The "Device Clone" app on HONOR phones is also a convenient option. It allows you to directly import contacts and other data from your old phone during the HONOR setup process, making it ideal for users who prefer to use native tools.
Here is how to transfer contacts from iPhone to HONOR using Device Clone:
Step 1. On your new HONOR phone, open the Device Clone app, or go to "Settings" > "System & updates" > "Device Clone", then tap "This is the new device".
Step 2. On the "Select old device type" screen, choose "iPhone/iPad". Next, download and install the Device Clone app on your iPhone, open the app, and select "This is the old device". Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your old device to the new one.
Step 3. Once the connection is established, choose the data you want to transfer from the old device, then follow the prompts to complete the cloning process.
Using a Google account for synchronization is also a very common method, especially for users who already have a Google account. You can first sync your iPhone contacts to the Google cloud, then log in to your account on your HONOR phone to automatically import them.
Here is how to sync contacts from iPhone to HONOR via a Google account:
Step 1. On your iPhone, go to "Settings" > "Contacts" > "Accounts" > "Add Account".
Step 2. Select "Google", enter your Google email address and password, and log in.
Step 3. Once logged in, make sure the "Contacts" sync option is enabled.
Step 4. Your contacts will automatically sync to your Google cloud account.
Step 5. On your HONOR phone, go to "Settings" > "Accounts" > "Add Account" > log in with the same Google account.
Step 6. Ensure the Contacts sync option is turned on.
Step 7. After a few minutes, your contacts will automatically appear in the HONOR phone's contacts list.
If you use iCloud for contact backup on your iPhone, you can also export your contacts as a VCF file via iCloud and manually import them to your HONOR phone. While the steps are a bit more involved, this method is perfect for users who prefer not to use third-party tools.
Here is how to send contacts from iPhone to HONOR with iCloud:
Step 1. On your iPhone, go to "Settings", tap your profile, then select "iCloud" from the list. On the next screen, toggle "Contacts" to enable contact syncing. (iCloud contacts not syncing?)
Step 2. Once the process is complete, go to icloud.com on your computer, log in with your Apple ID, and select "Contacts".
Step 3. Click the "gear" icon in the bottom-left corner, then choose "Select All". After that, click the "gear" icon again and select "Export vCard".
Step 4. After saving the VCF file, go to Gmail and compose a new email. Click the "attachment" icon to add the contact file, then hit "Send" to proceed.
Step 5. Next, on your HONOR phone, log in to Gmail with the same credentials, tap the "Download" icon, and save the contacts.
Although iTunes itself doesn't support directly importing contacts to Android devices, you can use iTunes to back up your contacts to the Windows Address Book and then sync them indirectly via your Google account. The process is a bit more complex, but it is an effective method.
Here is how to transfer contacts from iPhone to HONOR using iTunes:
Step 1. Install and open iTunes on your computer, then connect your iPhone to the computer using a USB cable.
Step 2. Click the device icon to go to the "Info" tab.
Step 3. Check the box for "Sync Contacts" > Select "Windows Contacts" > Click "Apply".
Step 4. Disconnect your iPhone from the computer, then go to your "Windows Account" > "Contacts" and click the "Export" button in the toolbar.
Step 5. Choose to export the contacts as a "vCard", then select the location where you want to save the VCF file.
Step 6. Log in to the Google Contacts website (contacts.google.com), click "Import", and upload the vCard.
Step 7. On your HONOR phone, log in with the same Google account and enable sync.
Although the methods mentioned above can successfully transfer contacts from iPhone to HONOR, when it comes to convenience, security, and operational efficiency, Coolmuster Mobile Transfer is undoubtedly the most recommended solution.
