Apple provides an official app called Move to iOS, which helps you wirelessly transfer data from your Android device (including Redmi) to a new iPhone. However, it only works during the initial setup of your iPhone.
Here is how to move files from Redmi to iPhone via Move to iOS:
Step 1. Ensure that both the Redmi and iPhone are connected to a stable Wi-Fi network and are charging.
Step 2. Download and install the Move to iOS app on your Redmi (available on Google Play).
Step 3. Turn on your new iPhone and proceed to the "Apps & Data" screen, then select "Move Data from Android".
Step 4. The iPhone will generate a six-digit verification code.
Step 5. Open the Move to iOS app on your Redmi, enter the verification code, and connect both devices. (Move to iOS code not showing up?)
Step 6. Select the content you want to transfer, such as contacts, photos, messages, etc.
Step 7. Click "Continue" and wait for the data transfer to complete.
Step 8. Once the iPhone shows "Transfer Complete", click "Done" to finish the setup and start using your new device.
Note: This method can only be used during the initial setup of the iPhone. If the iPhone has already been set up, you will need to restore it to factory settings first.
Although iTunes is primarily used for managing data on Apple devices, you can still use it indirectly to transfer data from Redmi to iPhone, especially for audio and video files.
Here is how to copy data from Redmi to iPhone using iTunes:
Step 1. Connect your Redmi to the computer using a USB cable and manually copy the photos, music, videos, and other files you need to the computer.
Step 2. Install and open iTunes, then connect your iPhone to the computer.
Step 3. In iTunes, click the device icon to access the iPhone management page.
Step 4. Select "File" > "Add File to Library" to import the media files you copied from your Redmi into iTunes.
Step 5. Click on the "Music" or "Movies" tab on the left, and choose "Sync Music" or "Sync Movies", then check the relevant content.
Step 6. Click "Apply" or "Sync", and wait for iTunes to transfer the files to your iPhone.
Step 7. Open the Music or Video app on your iPhone to view and play the synced content.
If you don't want to use a computer or USB cable, you can use Google Drive to upload data from your Redmi and then download it on your iPhone. This cloud-based method is more flexible but slower.
Here is how to transfer files from Redmi to iPhone with Google Drive:
Step 1. Open Google Drive on your Redmi and sign in with your Google account.
Step 2. Tap the "+" icon, select "Upload", and choose files such as photos, videos, or documents.
Step 3. After uploading, install Google Drive on your iPhone and log in with the same account.
Step 4. Access or download the uploaded files to your iPhone.
Q1. Will the data on the Redmi be deleted after the migration?
No, the data on the Redmi will not be automatically deleted. The migration process only copies the data to the new device, and your original device will retain all information until you manually erase it or perform a factory reset.
Q2. Can data be transferred from Redmi to iPhone via Bluetooth?
No, it cannot. Data cannot be transferred directly between an iPhone and a Redmi via Bluetooth. Apple's operating system (iOS) restricts Bluetooth file sharing, allowing it only between other Apple devices (like Macs, iPads, and iPhones). The Bluetooth protocols between Android devices (like Redmi) and iPhones are not compatible, so data cannot be transferred directly via Bluetooth.
Q3. Can I transfer app data from Redmi to iPhone?
Most app data cannot be transferred directly, especially for non-cross-platform apps. The App Store on iPhone and the app store on Android systems are different, so you will need to manually download and install the iPhone version of the apps.
There are several ways to transfer data from Redmi to iPhone, but not all of them offer the same level of convenience and compatibility. If you're looking for a fast, flexible, and user-friendly solution, especially for an iPhone that's already set up, we highly recommend using Coolmuster Mobile Transfer. It supports a wide range of data types and works across devices regardless of brand or setup stage.
