Switching from an iPhone to a HONOR device can be exciting, but transferring data like music isn't always straightforward. Because iOS and Android operate on different ecosystems, many users find it tricky to move their songs. However, there's no need to worry, as there are several methods to transfer music from iPhone to HONOR. This article will introduce five methods in detail to help you quickly complete the data migration.
HONOR provides an official migration tool called Device Clone. This app is designed for transferring data from your old phone (including iPhone) to a new HONOR device. It's a convenient choice if you want to move different types of data together, including music.
How do I transfer music from iPhone to HONOR? Here are the steps:
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 it, 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, select the data you want to transfer from your old device, such as "Music", then follow the prompts to complete the cloning process.

For users who already use iTunes to manage their music, this method allows you to first sync music to your computer and then copy it manually to your HONOR device. While it involves more steps, it's a reliable way to transfer large collections.
Here is how to transfer music from iPhone to HONOR with iTunes:
Step 1. Open iTunes on your computer and connect your iPhone to the PC using a USB cable.
Step 2. Once iTunes detects your device, click "File" > "Devices" > "Transfer Purchases from [Your iPhone]" to save your iPhone's purchased music to the computer.
Step 3. On your computer, navigate to the folder path "C:\Users[YourUsername]\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media". Locate the music files that were transferred from your iPhone and move them to your desktop for easy access.
Step 4. Connect your HONOR phone to the computer using a USB cable and select "File Transfer/Android Auto" mode on your phone. Then, open "This PC" on your computer and go to your HONOR's internal storage or SD card folder.
Step 5. Drag and drop the music files from your desktop to the music folder (or any folder of your choice) on your HONOR device. Wait for the transfer to finish, then safely disconnect both devices.
If you prefer a wireless cloud-based method, Google Drive can help. By uploading your music to the cloud, you can easily download it on your HONOR phone without cables. This is ideal for transferring a small number of songs quickly.
Here is how to send music from iPhone to HONOR with Google Drive:
Step 1. On your iPhone, go to the App Store and download the Google Drive app if you don't already have it. Then, open Google Drive and log in with your Google account. If you don't have one, create a free account.
Step 2. Tap the "+" (plus) icon in Google Drive and select "Upload".
Step 3. Choose "Browse" or "Files" on your iPhone, then select the music files you want to upload. The upload may take time depending on your internet speed and the size of your files.
Step 4. On your HONOR phone, open the Google Play Store and install the Google Drive app if it's not already installed. Log in with the same Google account you used on your iPhone.
Step 5. Browse to the folder where you uploaded your music files.
Step 6. Tap on each file and select "Download" to save the music to your HONOR phone's local storage.
Step 7. Open your HONOR's built-in music player or any third-party app to play the downloaded songs.
If you only want to share a few tracks, Snapdrop is a fast and lightweight option. It works like AirDrop but through a browser, requiring no app installation. Both devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. (Click here to learn more about AirDrop alternatives.)
