The good news is that Apple iCloud photos can now be moved to your Google Photos account so we recommend transferring them over. If you currently keep your photos backed up on iCloud, resetting your iPhone could cause all of your photos to be deleted. Thankfully there are different ways to expedite this process, one of which is the Google Drive backup option above. If you own gigabytes of photos, that transfer could take hours and delay you from playing with your new phone. At that point, you can manually transfer over all of your iPhone photos (and other files) to your new phone. When you switch from iPhone to Android and activate your new Android phone, you'll have the option to sync it to your old iPhone over Wi-Fi or cable. For that, you'll have better luck downloading these documents to a computer, then uploading them to Google Drive manually. You won't be able to back up iCloud documents using this method. If you select High Quality instead the quality will be lower (yes, it’s confusing), but the difference is hardly noticeable, and you get unlimited storage for those photos. Watch out for the photos section, because there are two options here: if you want to upload your photos in original quality, they’ll count towards your Google Drive storage limit. If you don’t want to back up particular data, such as your calendar, then you can set that option here. Simply install the app, sign in to your Google account (or create a new one if you don’t already have one) and then go into Settings > Backup. The Google Drive app makes it easy to transfer three key kinds of data from iOS to Android: your contacts, your calendar, and your camera roll. Before you switch from iPhone to Android and transfer anything, give your phone a bit of a spring clean: why transfer stuff you don't want such as unwanted photos or videos or contact details for people you don't speak to any more?
