Steps to sync together Android and iPhone
Decide on your preferred platform
When you make the decision to switch devices, it’s important to think about which one will be your primary and which will be your secondary. Choose the device that you are most familiar with, have been using for the longest, or have stored the most of your information on. If you have a choice, choose the device that is more reliable and has a longer warranty.
If you want to use your gadgets to communicate with one another, you’ll need to choose a device with a larger range of programmes and data. If you don’t have the preferred device, you can still use the backup device. Some apps, like Snapchat and WhatsApp, only allow you to sign in on one device at a time.
To keep track of how many times you’ve used an app on your main device and on your other devices, we recommend conducting an audit of the apps you use most. Then, download the apps with a single login to your main device.
Know your apps limitations
Android and iOS devices are two different types of devices. They have different operating systems, which means that they have different apps. Android devices have a more popular app selection than iOS devices, but this doesn’t mean that there aren’t any great apps for either platform. If you want to use one of the platforms as your primary device, learning about the apps that are exclusive to each one will help you do so.
If you rely heavily on Apple-specific apps, then it makes sense to use your iOS smartphone as your primary device.
Install all your Google apps on your iOS device
If you use Google products frequently, such as Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Maps, you’ll undoubtedly be pleased to learn that you can access all of these products on both iOS and Android devices. You can access your data on iOS and Android if you primarily store it in Google applications like Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Maps.
Google’s apps are regularly updated on both platforms, so your data will be automatically stored in the cloud and synced to different smartphones and tablets. In other words, every device you own will have access to your Google Drive documents, saved Google Maps locations, Google Photos photographs, and other data. iOS will support Google Assistant as well. However, the app’s version won’t function as effectively in terms of system integration because it doesn’t include features like search or messaging.
Access your Apple data on your Android device
To access your Apple data on an Android device, first open the Google Play store and sign in with your Apple account. Then tap Other and enter your Android login information.
To sync your contacts and calendar, first log into iCloud in a web browser and export your data. Then the process for syncing your contacts and your calendar diverge. To share Contacts, select all your contacts, click the cog icon on the bottom left, and choose Export vCard. Then open Google Contacts online and import the saved file by scrolling down the left-hand menu and clicking More followed by Import.
Next, open Google Calendar in a web browser and click the Plus icon on the left followed by From URL. Enter the URL that Apple Calendar gave you. This data then syncs to Google Calendar on Android. Although you make edits on an Apple device and see them on Google Calendar, the sync is only one way—your Android device can’t edit information on your Apple calendar.
Final Words
To combine Android and iPhone, you’ll need to find a way to make sure the apps work together. This can be difficult, but there are a few ways to do it. One way is to use an app from the same manufacturer. Another way is to find an app that works with both platforms and create a custom interface for it. Finally, you can try using an app from a third-party provider.
