How to Transfer Android Game Data to iPhone

Last Updated: November 10, 2020

This wikiHow will teach you how to transfer your Android game data to iPhone by logging into social media. Many games, like Candy Crush or Design Homes, have a feature to connect your account with your Facebook or Instagram accounts, so you can access your game from any phone as long as you can sign in. However, if the game does not connect to a social media account, you will not be able to transfer your game data from Android to iPhone.

Steps

1
Open a game on your Android, like Candy Crush. Your games might be inside a single folder on your Home screen that's labeled "Games", or you might find a game in the app drawer.
2
Log into social media. You'll usually find the login under your account profile or in settings, which might also prompt you to sign in to play with friends. Many games connect to Facebook; so if you don't have one, you'll need to make one for free.
- Some games, like Pokémon Go, connect to either Google or the Pokémon Trainer Club instead of social media like Facebook. To make an account that links to your game is generally free and an easy process.
- Switch to your iPhone; you're done with your Android for now.

Open that game app on your iPhone. Your games will either be in a single folder labeled "Games" that you'll find on one of your Home screens, or you can search for it.
- If you connected to Facebook in Candy Crush on your Android, you'll want to open Candy Crush on your iPhone.
4
Log into the same social media account. For each game that you connected to social media on your Android, you'll need to log into the same account on your iPhone. If, for example, you used your Facebook account Jane Doe to connect to Candy Crush on your Android, you need to log into Jane Doe's Facebook account on your iPhone.
5
Repeat as necessary. Connecting one game with a social media account won't automatically connect them all. You'll need to repeat this process in every game on your Android and iPhone to be able to transfer your information from Android to iPhone.^{[1]

- Since this is the only way to transfer game progress from Android to iPhone, if the game does not login to social media, you'll be unable to transfer the progress. However, you can try to contact the game developer if you have an issue transferring progress, which can usually be done in the "Help" section of the app.^{[2]
