Most of us start our smartphone journey with an android phone but as soon as we are capable of buying an iPhone, we have plethora of data in our android phone which we don't wanna loose.

So how do we get all of our data ?

Well, the answer to your question is "through third party apps". There are few great apps like MovetoiOS , Droid Transfer, Share it , Android transfer that are meant to transfer data from Android to iOS easily. Although all apps are great in its own way but today we are going to see how to use MovetoiOS app for data transfer from Android to iOS.

Data transfer is an time intensive process and some times you may loose data while transfer due to incompatibility or bad connection.
