In simpler words, what If the Move to iOS is not working or not being able to transfer data? There are several reasons behind it, errors like app freezing, failure after preparing, the lost connection during transfer, etc. Here are some fixes to make the Move to iOS app work again.
1. Restart the phone to resolve any bugs
As simple as that, sometimes a simple restart can resolve the issue. When phones are restarted, it clears out the caches and bugs that might have been stuck in the system logs.
To restart your iPhoneWith Home Button – Simply press and hold the power buttonWith Face ID – Press the volume down + Power button
Now, in the power menu, slide to power off. When iPhone has completely turned off again, press and hold just the power button to turn it on.
To restart your Android device – Hold the power button until the power menu pops up. When the power menu appears, just press the Restart option and wait till your phone shuts down and starts again automatically.
Once both devices restart, try once again. But if the Move to iOS app isn’t still working, hop on to the next step.
2. Check WiFi on your Android device
Move to iOS app creates its own private WiFi network and transfers data through the connection. For that, the Android device should be connected to your iPhone’s hotspot (the WiFi used by your iPhone is converted). But if it’s connected to some other network, the transfer won’t work. So check which WiFi network is connected to the Android device. Swipe down your notification panel and check the WiFi tab. Disconnect and correct the issue if it is not connected to the iPhone’s hotspot. Note: If your phone keeps switching to a different WiFi network, it’s time to forget the saved network. Go to Settings → Network And Internet → Internet → Select the WiFi → tap Forget.
3. Turn mobile data off
While we have resolved the WiFi issue, what about cellular data? If the iPhone Hotspot is spotty, there is a possibility that the Android is shifting to the cellular network, breaking the connection. To turn off cellular data on your Android app, tap the data toggle in quick settings or turn it off from Settings App. Go to Settings → Network And Internet → Internet → Toggle cellular data off.
4. Check for pending updates
Keeping your device up-to-date is always a smart move. It helps to improve the compatibility of the apps. Some apps might cause trouble if your device software is not up-to-date. To check updates on your Android Device Settings → System → System Update. That will be it. Hopefully, one of these solutions will fix Move to iOS app. If they didn’t work and you are facing a different problem, do let us know in the comments below, and if it worked, do let me know how was your experience!
