Our phones have quickly become our main communications tools, beyond just calling relatives. Managing both work and personal lives in our pockets is very much a thing and moving your contacts, calendars and email to your new iPhone will be a top priority. Fortunately, Apple makes it pretty easy. Assuming you've been using your Microsoft account to keep these three entities, you'll be able to import to your iPhone with ease.
Before you proceed, it's a good idea to make sure you've backed up your Windows phone first. • Launch the Settings app on your new iPhone. • Tap Accounts & Passwords.
• Tap Add account. • Select the account your current Mail, calendars, and contacts are on. • Follow the instructions to log in with your account credentials. Once the account has been added, make sure you've enabled syncing for all of the data you want transferred to your iPhone. • If you're not already in your new account screen, tap Accounts in the upper left corner to go back to the Accounts screen. • Tap your new Account. • Tap the Mail switch to turn on and sync your email data.
When it's on, the switch is green. • Tap the Contacts switch to turn on and sync your contacts data. When it's on, the switch is green. • Tap the Calendars switch to turn on and sync your calendar data. When it's on, the switch is green. • Tap the Notes switch to turn on and sync your iPhone's Notes content, which will appear in your email account under Notes. Your Microsoft account will pull in your email, your contacts and your calendar to the relevant stock apps on the iPhone.
You also have the option of using the Microsoft Outlook app on your iPhone to manage your Outlook email and calendars. It's considered by many to be the best mail client on iOS, so it's worth checking out. Moving over your photos and videos. Our recommendation would be to avoid transferring your photo library from your old phone to your new one. Not least because on Windows Mobile you may have been using a microSD card to store them on, something not supported on the iPhone without needing extra peripherals and apps. (Apple uses the service instead — for a price.) You can opt to start fresh, or better still, backup all your photos to your computer and your favorite online service, and then go from there.
The best option is to use the cloud. If you've been using Windows 10 Mobile then there's a strong chance you had your phone set to auto-upload your photo library to OneDrive. If you didn't have it set this way, there's still time to do so and upload your entire photo library to Microsoft's cloud. You can also upload your iPhone photos to OneDrive, so you don't have to switch from what you're familiar and comfortable with. With this, you just need to install the OneDrive app from the App Store and you'll have instant access to all your photos wherever you are. Or, if you use Dropbox, the other big, cross-platform popular option, same applies.
