Switching is easier than ever
Transfer your stuff from iOS in 3 easy steps.
Here’s how to switch
Step 1 of 3
Get Google Drive
First, download Google Drive to your iOS device and sign in with your Google account. If you don’t have a Google account, you can create one now or when you sign in to Google Drive.
If you already have Google Drive installed, make sure to update to the latest version.
Step 2 of 3
Back up your content
Once you’re in Google Drive, open the backup wizard by selecting Menu > Settings > Backup. Choose the content that you want to back up, or simply back up everything by clicking "Start Backup".
Backing up may take several hours, so we recommend you connect your device to power and Wi-Fi.
Step 3 of 3
Sign in on your Android device
Sign in to your Google account on your new Android device. Make sure to use the same account that you used to back up your iPhone.
Don’t forget to turn off iMessage. Learn more.
See it all on your new Android device
Once you’re signed in on your Android device, you’ll see all your stuff waiting for you. Now let the fun begin.


Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
