Switching from an Android device like a TECNO phone to an iPhone is exciting, but what about your text messages? Many users are concerned about losing important SMS data when switching platforms. If you're searching for the best ways to transfer text messages from TECNO to iPhone, you're in the right place.
This guide walks you through the most effective methods to move SMS from TECNO to iPhone, whether your iPhone is brand new or already set up. Let's get started.
Move to iOS is Apple's official Android-to-iOS transfer app that supports moving text messages, contacts, photos, and more from TECNO phones to iPhone. This method is best suited when setting up a new iPhone for the first time.
How do I transfer text messages from TECNO to iPhone via Move to iOS? Here are the steps:
Step 1. Power on your new iPhone, and on the "Apps & Data" screen, choose "Move Data from Android".
Step 2. On your TECNO phone, go to the Google Play Store and download the Move to iOS app.
Step 3. Open the app and tap "Continue", then agree to the terms and proceed.
Step 4. On your iPhone, a 6-digit code will appear. Enter this code on your TECNO device.
Step 5. Once the devices connect, select "Messages" as the data type to transfer.
Step 6. Tap "Next" and wait for the transfer to complete. Once done, continue the setup process on your iPhone.
Already set up your iPhone? No worries. You can still transfer text messages from TECNO to iPhone using the SMS Backup & Restore app. It lets you back up your text messages to a cloud service like Google Drive and then restore them on your iPhone with a compatible app.
Here is how to transfer text messages from TECNO to iPhone with SMS Backup & Restore:
Step 1. On your TECNO phone, install SMS Backup & Restore from the Google Play Store.
