    Sync iPhone Contacts with Google via iTunes:

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

    1. Connect the iPhone to your computer via USB
    2. Open iTunes on the computer and click the iPhone
    3. Go to “Info” and enable “Sync Contacts With
    4. Select “Google Contacts” from the drop-down menu
    5. Sign in with your Google account, or click “Configure” and select an existing account
    6. Click “Apply” to start the sync
    7. Once the sync is complete, switch to the BLU device and sign in with the same Google account used in iTunes
    8. Allow the account to sync contacts with your phone

    Using “My Contacts Backup”:

    1. Go to the App Store and install “My Contacts Backup” on the iPhone
    2. Open the app and tap “Backup”. This will create a vCard of your iPhone contacts
    3. Once done, tap “Email
    4. Make sure the email contains the vCard attachment
    5. Send the email to your own address
    6. Switch to the Android phone, and open the email
    7. Download the vCard attachment and use “Contacts” to import it

    Using “Send Anywhere”:

    NOTE: Another third party app you can use is Send Anywhere, available on Android and iOS. The app uses a peer-2-peer connection to share various file types without requiring a computer.

    1. Visit the App Store and install “Send Anywhere” on the iPhone
    2. On the BLU Grand Energy, install the same app from the Google Play Store
    3. Open the app on both smartphones
    4. On the iPhone, tap “Send” > “Contacts
    5. Select the desired contacts
    6. Tap “Send” and select the desired transfer method, such as “Generate QR Code” on the iPhone or “Receive” on the Android device
    7. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the process
