Switching from a realme Android device to an iPhone can be exciting, but moving all your important files can feel overwhelming. Since realme runs on Android and iPhone uses iOS, the two platforms have different data formats and transfer methods. Fortunately, there are several reliable solutions to transfer data from realme to iPhone. In this guide, we'll walk you through five practical methods with detailed steps, so you can make the transition quickly and without losing valuable data.
Move to iOS is a free data migration tool officially launched by Apple, designed specifically for users switching from an Android phone to an iPhone. It allows you to directly transfer contacts, SMS records, photos, videos, browser bookmarks, and more from a realme device to an iPhone. The main advantage of using Move to iOS is that it doesn't require a computer, and the entire process can be done wirelessly. However, it's important to note that this method can only be used during the initial setup of the iPhone and cannot transfer apps or certain types of files.

Step 1. Turn on your new iPhone, go through the setup process until you reach "Apps & Data", then choose "Move Data from Android".
Step 2. On your realme phone, open Google Play Store, download and install the Move to iOS app.
Step 3. Launch the app, tap "Continue", and agree to the terms.
Step 4. On your iPhone, tap "Continue" to get a 6- or 10-digit code. (Move to iOS code not showing up?)
Step 5. Enter this code on your realme device to establish a secure connection.
Step 6. Select the data you want to transfer (contacts, messages, photos, etc.), then tap "Next".
Step 7. Wait for the transfer to complete and finish setting up your iPhone.
