Last Updated: February 14, 2022

Do you have a new phone and want to make sure it's set up like your old phone? This wikiHow article will guide you on how to switch from an Android to an iPhone if you're on a Verizon plan.

Steps

1
Open Verizon Cloud on both phones. You'll need to use this app on both your Android and iPhone. It's a free service with Verizon that will transfer your information from your Android to your iPhone that you can get from the Google Play Store and App Store.
- You can also use the Move to iOS mobile app if you rather not use a Verizon app. You can use this app even if you're on a Verizon plan; the Move to iOS app will transfer your data between your Android and iPhone just fine.
2
Tap Get Started on both phones. When you first open the app, you'll see a splash page that welcomes you to Verizon Cloud. The Get Started button is at the bottom of your screen.
