When switching from a Redmi smartphone to an iPhone, one of the most important tasks is ensuring that all your contacts move with you. Losing contact information can be frustrating, especially if you rely on your phone for work or communication. Luckily, there are several effective methods to help you transfer contacts from Redmi to iPhone.
In this guide, we'll walk you through each method step by step, explain what works best in different situations, and help you pick the most convenient way to transfer contacts safely and efficiently.
Apple's Move to iOS app is an official and secure tool that helps Android users transfer data such as contacts, messages, photos, and bookmarks to a new iPhone. This method works best when setting up a new iPhone for the first time, as it's integrated into the iOS setup process.
Here is how to move contacts from Redmi to iPhone via Move to iOS:
Step 1. On your Redmi phone, open the Google Play Store and install the Move to iOS app.
Step 2. Turn on your new iPhone and start the setup process. When you reach the "Apps & Data" screen, tap "Move Data from Android".
Step 3. Open the Move to iOS app on your Redmi, tap "Continue", and accept the terms and conditions.
Step 4. A numeric code will appear on your iPhone. Enter that code on your Redmi device. (Move to iOS code not showing up?)
Step 5. Connect both phones to the same Wi-Fi network and select "Contacts" as the data type to transfer.
Step 6. Tap "Next" and wait for the transfer process to complete.
Step 7. Once done, finish setting up your iPhone and open the Contacts app to confirm the imported contacts.

If you have saved contacts using your Google account on your Redmi phone, you can easily sync them to your iPhone via Google's cloud sync feature. This method doesn't require a computer; simply log into the same Google account to enable automatic synchronization.
Here is how to sync contacts from Redmi to iPhone with Google Contacts:
Step 1. On your Redmi phone, go to "Settings" > "Accounts & Sync" > "Google". Make sure "Contacts" sync is enabled.
Step 2. Wait for your contacts to sync to your Google account.
Step 3. On your iPhone, open "Settings" > "Mail" > "Accounts" > "Add Account".
Step 4. Choose "Google", then log in with the same account used on your Redmi.
Step 5. Enable the "Contacts" toggle and wait a few minutes.
Step 6. Open the Contacts app on your iPhone, and you'll see all your synced Google contacts appear automatically.
If you want the most straightforward way to transfer contacts to your iPhone, using a SIM card import is a traditional and simple method. You just need to export the contacts from your Redmi to the SIM card and then import them on your iPhone. While this method has a limitation on the number of contacts that can be imported at once, it doesn't rely on the internet or third-party tools, making it ideal for small-scale transfers.
Here is how to copy contacts from Redmi to iPhone using the SIM card:
Step 1. On your Redmi phone, open the Contacts app and go to "Manage Contacts" > "Export to SIM card".
Step 2. Wait until the contacts are successfully copied to your SIM card.
Step 3. Remove the SIM card from your Redmi and insert it into your iPhone.
Step 4. On your iPhone, go to "Settings" > "Contacts" > "Import SIM Contacts".
Step 5. Wait for the import process to complete. You can now find the contacts in your iPhone's Contacts app.
Q1. Can you transfer contacts from Redmi to iPhone via Bluetooth?
No, it's not possible. iPhone's Bluetooth is primarily used for pairing devices (such as headphones, speakers, keyboards, etc.) and does not support direct data transfer with Android devices (like Redmi).
Q2. What if my Redmi phone is broken?
If your contacts were synced with your Google account, simply sign in to the same Google account on your iPhone to restore them.
Q3. Why is Move to iOS not connecting?
Make sure both phones are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and that mobile data is turned off on the Redmi. If the issue persists, use Coolmuster Mobile Transfer as an alternative.
