How to Transfer Data from POCO to iPhone [Updated Guide]

Just unboxed a brand-new iPhone? Welcome aboard! While the excitement is real, one challenge often follows-moving your data from your old POCO phone to your new iPhone. Switching from one iPhone to another is usually smooth and fast, but transferring files from a POCO (Android-based) device to iOS can feel confusing and time-consuming at first.

The good news is that you don't have to struggle. There are several practical and reliable ways to transfer your photos, contacts, messages, and more from a POCO phone to an iPhone without losing important data. In the following sections, we'll walk you through the most effective methods one by one.

Method 1: Transfer Data from POCO to iPhone with Move to iOS

One of the quickest and most convenient ways to move your data from a POCO phone to an iPhone is by using Apple's Move to iOS app. Keep in mind that this method only works during the initial setup of your iPhone. If your iPhone has already been set up, you'll need to erase it and start the setup process again.

Below is a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

• Download the Move to iOS app from Google Play on your POCO phone.
• Open the app, tap "Continue", review the terms and conditions, and tap "Agree" to proceed.
• Launch the Move to iOS app on your POCO device.
• Turn on your iPhone and navigate to the "Apps & Data" screen, then choose "Move Data from Android".



• A 6-digit or 10-digit code will appear on your iPhone. (If your POCO phone shows a warning about a weak internet connection, you can safely ignore it-this is a known issue.)
• Enter the displayed code on your POCO phone.



• Your iPhone will generate a temporary Wi-Fi network. When prompted, tap "Connect" on your POCO phone to join it.
• Wait until the Transfer Data screen appears on your POCO device.
• Select the types of data you want to move-such as contacts, photos, or messages-then tap "Continue".
• Keep both devices close to each other and connected to power until the progress bar on your iPhone finishes. Depending on the data size, this process may take 30 minutes or more.
• Once the transfer completes, tap "Done" on your POCO phone. Then tap "Continue" on your iPhone and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.

Method 3: Copy Data from POCO to iPhone with iTunes/Finder

If you don't mind a more manual and slightly longer process, you can move media files such as music, photos, and videos from your POCO phone to your iPhone using "iTunes" (on Windows or older macOS) or "Finder" (on newer macOS versions). To begin, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer.

Note: Syncing content through iTunes or Finder will replace the existing media on your iPhone. To avoid unexpected data loss, it's strongly recommended that you back up your iPhone before proceeding with the POCO-to-iPhone transfer.

Step 1: Download and Open iTunes

Go to Apple's official website and install the newest version of iTunes on your Windows PC or Mac (if required). Create an Apple ID if you don't already have one, but hold off on signing in for now.

Step 2: Copy Files from POCO to Computer

Connect your POCO phone to the computer using a USB cable. Once detected, open the file explorer and access your POCO's storage. Manually copy the music, photos, and videos you want to move, then paste them into a dedicated folder on your computer. This step is straightforward and usually finishes quickly.

Step 3: Sign In to iTunes

Launch iTunes and sign in with the Apple ID you created earlier. This will allow you to manage and sync content to your iPhone.

Step 4: Sync Music to Your iPhone

In iTunes, click "File" > "Add Folder to Library" and select the folder that contains your music files. After the music is added to the library, connect your iPhone and open the "Device" section. Choose "Music", decide whether to sync the entire library or selected tracks, and then click "Apply" to start syncing.

Step 5: Sync Photos and Videos to iPhone

Still in the "Device" section, switch to "Photos". Enable "Sync Photos", select the folder you created earlier, and choose "All folders". Make sure "Include Videos" is checked if needed. Click "Apply" to complete the transfer of photos and videos to your iPhone.
