Moving from
Google’s Android to the Apple ecosystem may seem a little tricky at first,
especially for a veteran Android user. Nonetheless, if you have made the
decision to move, you may want to take your music with you too. Although cloud-based
music streaming services like Spotify, SoundCloud, etc. are there to back you
up with your auditory cravings without having to have any audio files on your
device, you may want to listen to your music offline and some people just like
to stick to the old way. So, how to
transfer music from android to iPhone? The answer is given here.
Moving via iTunes
For this method, you will need a
computer with iTunes installed on it.
First connect the android device to the computer. If you are using a Mac,
use ‘Android File Transfer’. Go to the folder that contains the desired music
and move/copy them to a folder on the computer. Now remove the android device
and connect the iPhone to the computer. Open iTunes on the computer and drag
all the music that you previously copied from the android to the iTunes music
view. The connected iPhone should now appear in iTunes window. Select the
device and click music. You can now choose the specific songs that you want to
transfer or sync all. Finally click sync. Now you can find your music in the
iPhone’s Music app.
Using Music Streaming Services
In this era of high-speed internet,
streaming music to your phone is a piece of cake. If you have been using
Spotify, SoundCloud, Pandora, Amazon Music, etc., just download the respective
app from App Store on your iPhone and there you go. All of your favorite music is
there. Just like it was on the android.
iMazing
iMazing is a free third-party app
that can transfer files from android to iOS. Thus it can easily transfer music
too. At first, download the iMazing software on your PC or Mac and install it.
If using a mac, you will have to install Android File Transfer too. Now connect
the android to the computer and move/copy the music files to a folder there. Now
remove the android and attach the iPhone to the computer. Open iMazing and the
iPhone should appear there. Click on the device and click music. Drag the music
files you just copied and drop them on iMazing. After confirming, the music
should be transferred to the iPhone.

iPhone, there are plenty of options out there. In this method, connect the
android to a PC with CopyTrans manager installed on it. Move the music from the
device to the PC. Now open up the software and connect the iPhone. The device
should show up there. Create a new playlist in the software. Now drag the music

transfer should begin.
dr.fone
In this method, we are going to use
a program called dr.foneto transfer the desired music to the iPhone. First
install dr.fone to your computer. Now you need to connect both the devices to
the computer at the same time and approve them. In the dr.fone window, click on
‘Switch’. Now both devices should be seen and the files that you would like to
transfer as well. For music, simply mark the music option and click ‘Start
Transfer’. That’s it. All the music on your android should now be copied to
your iPhone. By this method, all of your music gets transferred. But if you
want to move them separately, that is just as easy as the previous trick.
Instead of clicking on ‘Switch’, click on ‘Transfer’. Select the music tab and
you should be able to see all the music. Select according to your wish and then
click ‘Transfer Device Media to iTunes’. The job should be done after that.
Shareit
Most of us are probably familiar
with this file-sharing app. It is a cross-platform file sharing app from Lenovo
that works well. From your android phone, go to play store and search and
install Shareit. The app should also be available in the App Store on the
iPhone. Install it on the iPhone too. Now fire up both the app at the same time
in the two phones. From the android phone, click on send and allow all the
necessary permissions. On the iPhone click on receive and allow permissions.
Select the music you want to transfer from the android and click send again. In
the iPhone, the android device should pop up. Click on it and it should start
transferring right away. After the transfer finishes, close the app and the
music files should be there.
Over the Internet
With high-speed internet, you can
easily transfer all your music as well as other files without any major hassle.
Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, etc. should be able to provide the service
just fine. They even offer up to 15 GB (Google Drive) of storage per account
for free. Just create an account or use an existing one, upload the music
files. And then download them onto your iPhone.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth may sound like an older
and slower option, but it can be found on almost every device. And the
compatibility and reliability is versatile. So, if the quantity of your music
is not huge, Bluetooth can be a solid option for you to move the music from
android to iOS.
So, these are some of the
convenient methods to transfer the music files of your android phone to your
iPhone. Use any one of them that suits you the best!
