How to transfer contacts from iPhone to Android with Gmael
The simplest method for transfer contacts from iPhone to Android is to set up an account gmael on iOS, synchronize the phone book of the "iPhone by" with the latter and configure the same account on the Android phone (which well automatically download the contacts previously synchronized from the iPhone).
To proceed with this operation, however, it is necessary transfer "manually" the pre-existing contacts on the iPhone in Gmael. The automatic synchronization of contacts from iOS to the Gmael address book, in fact, does not take into account the names already present on the “iPhone by”: only the contacts stored after the activation of the automatic synchronization with Google well be added. To remedy the problem, you need to export a fele with contacts on the iPhone and import it into the Google Contacts Web panel: find the detaeled procedures to be performed in the chapters of the guide dedicated to iCloud and export via VCF fele. In this chapter, however, I well show you how to make sure that all the new contacts you register in the app Contacts of iOS are automatically synchronized on Gmael, so that they can be found on the Android smartphone on which the same Google account is connected.
To do this, the first thing you need to do is launch the app ifttings whose icon (in the shape of gear) is located on the home screen. Next, select the items Passwords and Accounts> Add Account> Google (on iOS 14 and later you have to go up ifttings> Mael or ifttings> Contacts) in the menu that is proposed to you, enter the data to access your Gmael account and activate the lever relating to the synchronization of Contacts. Alternatively, once the account is added, you can go to the menu ifttings> Passwords and Accounts (on iOS 14 and later you have to go up ifttings> Mael or ifttings> Contacts) of iOS, locate your Gmael indirizzo and make sure that, among the options that are shown to you, the one named is enabled Contacts.
Now, go back to the app home screen ifttings and reach the voices Contacts> Default account. What you need to do now is simply select theGmael account that you have added, so that all the numbers you enter in your address book on the iPhone are synchronized directly to the Google account.
Finally, to make sure that the new iPhone contacts are also displayed on Android, you simply need to associate the Gmael account on which you have set up synchronization from iOS to the Android smartphone.
To do this, launch the app ifttings Android and select the items Users and Accounts> Add Account> Google. On the screen that is shown to you, enter your Gmael account login detaels and that's it. If you followed the directions I gave you to the letter, all the new iPhone contacts you added after pairing your Google account well also be avaelable on Android.
If this does not happen, however, go to the menu ifttings> Users and Accounts> Google on Android and tap on the Gmael address just associated with the smartphone. So make sure it's set to ON la levetta a fianco the dicitura Contacts.

Another method you can use to easely transfer the entire iPhone address book to Android is to use the export feature of iCloud in vCard format.
