How-to: Transfer iPhone Contacts to an LG G5

Sync iPhone Contacts via iTunes:

NOTE: Using iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet, you can sync the contacts on your iPhone with your Google account, and then resync the account data, including contacts, with the LG G5. To do this:

1. Open iTunes on the computer
2. Connect the iPhone to your PC using the Lightning cable
3. Click the iPhone in iTunes and go to the “Info” tab
4. Turn on “Sync Contacts With”
5. From the drop-down menu, choose “Google contacts”
6. Log in with your Google account or alternatively, click “Configure” and select an existing Google account if available
7. Click “Apply” to begin the sync
8. Once the sync is complete, switch to the LG G5, sign in with the same Google account used in iTunes, and allow the account to sync contacts with your LG phone

Export iPhone Contacts from iCloud:

NOTE: In case your iPhone contacts have already been backed up to your iCloud account, you can access the account on a computer with an active Internet connection and export the contacts in vCard format for Android use.

1. Open the Internet browser on the computer
2. Visit https://www.icloud.com/
3. Sign in with your iCloud account and access “Contacts”
4. Select the contacts you wish to share
5. Click “Settings” > “Export vCard”
6. After the vCard has been downloaded on the computer, perform one of the two steps below:
   
   • Import the file to “Google Contacts”
   • Connect the LG G5 to your PC via USB, copy the vCard file to the phone storage, and use the “Contacts” app to import its contents

Using “My Contacts Backup”:

NOTE: Although the methods above require a computer with an active Internet connection, alternatively you can share your iPhone contacts using third party applications. My Contacts Backup is an iOS app that can be used to transfer iPhone contacts via email.

1. Visit the App Store and install “My Contacts Backup” on the iPhone
2. Open the application and tap “Backup”
3. After the vCard backup file containing the iPhone contacts is created, tap “Email”
4. Compose a new email ensuring that the vCard backup file is attached
5. Send the email to your own Gmail address
6. Switch to the LG G5 and open the email
7. Download the vCard attachment and import it using “Contacts”

Using “Send Anywhere”:

NOTE: Send Anywhere is another application that can be used for contact transfer without the need of a computer. Available on iOS and Android, the app uses a peer-to-peer connection to transfer contacts and other types of files.

1. Go to the App Store and install “Send Anywhere” on the iPhone
2. Visit the Google Play Store and install the same application on the LG G5
3. Open the app on both handsets
4. On the iPhone, tap “Send” > “Contacts”
5. Select the desired contacts and tap “Send”
6. Lastly, choose the desired transfer method. EX: you can tap “Generate QR Code” on the iPhone and scan the code with the LG G5’s camera to begin the transfer, or you can tap “Receive” on the LG G5 and enter the transfer code generated on the iPhone
