Transfer apps and data between iOS and Android phones
The method to transfer apps from one phone to another when the two phones do not have the same operating system (Android and iOS) is as follows:
Step 1: If the original device is an iOS device, download the Google Drive app onto your phone from the App Store.
Firstly, ensure that you have a Google account set up on your Android device or an Apple ID on your iPhone, as this is necessary for transferring apps. Some apps may take longer to transfer if they are large in size. Always check that your network connection is stable and strong before initiating a transfer to avoid any interruptions. Lastly, ensure that both devices are fully charged to prevent data loss during the transfer process.
