Another way to transfer messages from iPhone to Galaxy is using the iSMS2droid app. First, you need to back up your iPhone messages to your computer via iTunes, and the encryption option should not be enabled. Then, export the texts on your Samsung phone with the iSMS2droid app.
Here's how:
1. Plug your iPhone into the computer using a USB cable and run the latest version of iTunes.
2. When detected, tap your iPhone at the top-right corner > Summary > Back Up Now to take a full backup of your iPhone to the computer.
3. Find the iPhone backup file on your computer. For iTunes installed from Microsoft Store, the location path is: C:\Users\[user name]\Apple\MobileSync\Backup; For iTunes installed from Apple website, the path is: C:\Users\[PC name]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup.
4. Pinpoint the file named 3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28 under the 3d folder and transfer it to your Samsung phone via a USB cable or Wi-Fi.
5. Install iSMS2droid from Google Play Store on your Samsung Galaxy. After that, run the app and choose the Import Messages option.
6. It will automatically import the iPhone SMS from the phone storage database into your Samsung phone. (Note: If the file is not detected, you need to manually import it to the app.)
It is not easy to transfer messages from iPhone to Samsung Galaxy since they run the different operating systems, and SMS is one of the encrypted files that's hard to transfer. However, you can easily switch texts with the three optional methods introduced above.
