  9. On your HTC One (M8), register the same account by going to "Settings" > "Accounts"
  10. Allow the account to sync contacts with your HTC device and you're all set

Using iCloud to Transfer Contacts:

iCloud is a backup service that features the option of exporting iPhone contacts in the form of a vCard file. In case you've used the service on your iPhone before, then your contacts should be backed up on your iCloud account. For this method you need access to a computer with Internet.

  1. Launch your computer's Internet browser and go to https://www.icloud.com/

  5. Click the button shaped like a cog wheel (lower-left side) and choose "Export vCard"
  6. A VCF file containing the previously selected contacts will be downloaded on your computer
  7. Import the VCF file to "Google Contacts". Alternatively, connect the HTC One (M8) to your computer via USB, and copy the vCard file to the "sdcard" directory. Then, launch the "People" application on your smartphone, tap the "Menu" icon > "Manage contacts" > "Import / Export contacts" > and choose to import from SD / storage. If necessary, pick an account and the proper vCard file
