    Via iTunes:

    NOTE: With iTunes installed on a computer connected to the Internet, you can sync the contacts on your iPhone with your Google account. You can then sync the account data, including contacts, with the A3.

    1. Open iTunes on the computer
    2. Connect the iPhone to the PC via USB
    3. Once connected, click the iPhone in iTunes to access the summary page
    4. Go to the “Info” tab and turn on “Sync Contacts with
    5. From the drop-down menu, choose “Google Contacts
    6. Sign in with your Google account, or click “Configure” and select an existing account if available
    7. Click “Apply” to begin the sync
    8. Once the sync is done, switch to the A3 and sign in with the same Google account
    9. Allow the account to sync contacts with your Android phone

    Via iCloud:

    NOTE: In case you’ve used iCloud on your iPhone before, your contacts should already be backed up on your iCloud account. If so, you can access the account and export the contacts in vCard format for Android use.

    1. Open the Internet browser on the PC
    2. Visit https://www.icloud.com/ and sign in with your iCloud account
    3. Access “Contacts
    4. Select the desired contacts
    5. Click “Settings” > “Export vCard” and wait for the file to be downloaded on the computer
    6. Once done, import the vCard to “Google Contacts”, or connect both smartphones to your PC > transfer the file manually on the A3 storage, then import the file’s contents using “Contacts

    Via “My Contacts Backup”:

    NOTE: Alternatively, you can transfer contacts without requiring a computer, by relying on third party apps. My Contacts Backup is an iOS app that can be used to back up and transfer contacts via email.

    1. Go to the App Store and install “My Contacts Backup” on the iPhone
    2. Launch the app and tap “Backup
    3. Once the backup file is created, tap “Email
    4. Verify if the email contains the vCard attachment, then send it to your own address
    5. On the Galaxy A3, open the email client, download the vCard file, and import it using “Contacts

    Via “Send Anywhere”:

    NOTE: Another third party app you can use is Send Anywhere. Available on iOS and Android, the app uses a P2P connection to transfer contacts and other file types without requiring access to a computer.

    1. Visit the App Store and install “Send Anywhere” on the iPhone
    2. Install the same app on the SGA3 via the Google Play Store
    3. Launch the app on both handsets
    4. Tap “Send” > “Contacts” on the iPhone
    5. Select the contacts you want to share and tap “Send
    6. Choose a transfer method, such as “Receive” on the A3, or “Generate QR Code” on the iPhone
