Switching from a realme Android phone to a new iPhone? You're probably wondering how to transfer text messages from realme to iPhone without losing anything important. Due to system differences between Android and iOS, moving SMS data isn't as straightforward as switching within the same ecosystem.
In this guide, we'll walk you through multiple effective methods to move your text messages from realme to iPhone, whether your iPhone is brand-new or already set up.
Move to iOS is an official tool launched by Apple to transfer data from Android to iPhone. It supports migrating text messages, contacts, photos, and other data from an Android phone to an iPhone during the initial setup process. The prerequisite for using it is that your iPhone has not yet completed the initial setup, or it needs to be erased and set up again. (How to factory reset iPhone?)
How do I transfer text messages from realme to iPhone via Move to iOS? Here are the steps:
Step 1. Install the Move to iOS app on your realme device from the Google Play Store.
Step 2. On your iPhone, begin the setup process until you reach the "Apps & Data" screen. Then, select "Move Data from Android".
Step 3. On your realme phone, launch the Move to iOS app, agree to the terms, and tap "Continue".
Step 4. Enter the code displayed on the iPhone into your realme phone.
Step 5. Once connected, choose "Messages" from the list of data types.
Step 6. Complete the rest of your iPhone setup.
If your iPhone has already been set up, or if you don't plan to erase existing data, you can choose SMS Backup & Restore to transfer text messages from your realme phone to your iPhone. You can back up your text messages to a cloud service like Google Drive and then restore them to your iPhone using a compatible app.
Here's how to transfer text messages from your realme to an iPhone with SMS Backup & Restore:
Step 1. On your realme phone, download SMS Backup & Restore from the Google Play Store.

Step 3. After configuring the backup settings, tap "Back Up Now" to begin the backup process. Your messages will be uploaded to Google Drive.
Step 4. Complete the setup on your iPhone, including connecting to Wi-Fi. Then, open the App Store on your iPhone and search for the "SMS Export" app, which will help you import text messages from the cloud.
Step 5. Launch the SMS Export app and sign in with the same Google account you used for the backup on your Android device.
Step 6. Inside the app, access your Google Drive backup and choose the text messages you want to restore.
