How do I enter the Move to iOS code on a Samsung phone?
Answer
The Move to iOS code is entered in the Move to iOS app on the Samsung phone after you reach the Find Your Code or Enter Code screen, not in the Samsung Settings menus.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- A failed transfer does not usually erase the Samsung, but you may need to reset the new iPhone to retry setup.
- Download Move to iOS only from Google Play, not from random APK sites.
Follow these steps
Start Move Data from Android on the iPhone
During iPhone setup, choose Move Data from Android and wait until the ten-digit or similar code screen appears. Leave that screen open.
You should see: The iPhone displays a code for the Android device.
Open Move to iOS on the Samsung
On the Samsung Home screen, open the Move to iOS app. If it is not installed, get it from Google Play, then open it and tap Continue.
You should see: The app shows terms and continues toward a code entry screen.
Reach Enter Code and type the iPhone code
Accept the terms and keep advancing until you see Find Your Code or Enter One-Time Code, then enter the code shown on the iPhone.
You should see: The phones connect and show content categories to transfer.
Keep both phones awake until transfer finishes
Select what to move, place the phones near each other, and do not press Home or lock either phone until the transfer completes.
You should see: The iPhone reports that the transfer finished and setup can continue.
