    Transferring Contacts Using iTunes:

    iTunes can be used to sync contacts from your iPhone with your Google account, thus allowing you to sync the contacts with your Android smartphone. For this method, you need access to a computer with Internet access, and iTunes installed. If you don't have iTunes, visit the official Apple website and download the client.

    1. Launch iTunes on the computer
    2. Use the proprietary USB cable to connect your iPhone to your PC
    3. Once connected, the iPhone will appear in iTunes. Click it to view its summary page
    4. Access the "Info" tab
    5. Mark the "Sync Contacts With" check box, and select "Google Contacts" from the drop-down list
    6. Enter your Google account's username and password. If you've already registered an account in iTunes, you can click "Configure" and choose an existing account
    7. To begin the syncing process, click "Apply"
    8. On the Xplay 3S, register the same Google account as the one used for syncing in iTunes. To register an account, go to "Settings" > "Accounts"
    9. Allow Google to sync contacts with your Android device

    Transferring Contacts Using iCloud:

    If you've used the iCloud backup service on your iPhone, then your contacts should be backed up on your iCloud account. By logging in with your iCloud account, you can export your iPhone contacts in the form of a VCF file. For this approach you need a computer with Internet access.

    1. On your computer, launch the Internet browser and visit https://www.icloud.com/
    2. Sign in with your iCloud account and click "Contacts"
    3. From the contact list, select the contacts that you want to export
    4. Click the icon depicting a cog wheel, and select "Export vCard". The file will be downloaded on your computer
    5. Once you have the file, import it to "Google Contacts". Alternatively, connect your Xplay 3S to your computer via USB, copy the vCard file to the "sdcard" directory, and import the file's contents through the people application, and the "Import / Export" function

    Transferring Contacts through My Contacts Backup:

    "My Contacts Backup" is an iOS application that allows you to transfer your contacts to an Android device without the need of a computer. The app can compile your contacts in a VCF file, which can be transferred to your Xplay 3S via email. To do so:

    1. Visit the App Store and install "My Contacts Backup" on your iPhone
    2. Open the app and tap "Backup"
    3. After the VCF file is created, tap "Email" in order to attach the vCard to the email
    4. Send the mail to your own Gmail account
    5. On the VIVO Xplay 3S, open the email and download the attached vCard file
    6. Import the file's contents using the people application

    Transferring Contacts via "Send Anywhere":

    Last but not least, you can transfer your iPhone contacts to your Xplay 3S using Send Anywhere. This is an iOS and Android application which uses a peer-2-peer connection in order to transfer contacts and various other file types. Once again, for this method you are not required to have access to a computer.

    1. Launch the Google Play Store on your Xplay 3S and download "Send Anywhere"
    2. From the App Store, install the app on your iPhone
    3. Open the application on both smartphones
    4. On the iPhone, tap "Send"
    5. Select "Contacts"
    6. Mark the contacts that you wish to share and tap "Send"
    7. Next up, select the desired method of sharing. You can tap "Generate QR Code" to generate a code that can be scanned with the Xplay 3S' camera in order to commence the transfer. Alternatively, you can tap "Receive" on the Android device, and type in the randomly generated transfer code from the iPhone
