DarrenCurtis Welcome to the bright side!

Nothing phones DON’T have a different method of transferring data from an iPhone to an Android, but the instructions are similar to if you are to set up a Google Pixel:

Connect your new Android phone to your old iPhone using your Lightning to USB-C cable (When asked if you have a cable, select “No cable,” and follow the instructions to connect your iPhone and Android via Wifi using the Switch to Android app.)
Follow the on-screen instructions to choose what to copy over (Turn off iMessage and FaceTime first)
That’s it.

I’ve just swapped over from iPhone to the 2a, not used an android phone for maybe 10 Years. I am so impressed with my Nothing phone 2a, Hardwear and software are awesome. do not miss my iPhone 15 at all

I have switched from my iPhone 14 plus to the Nothing Phone 2 and I don’t have any regrets. Was away from Android for the past 5 years. Just love the android experience when compared to the IOS.

hey i switched from iphone to noting 2a, just like you are planning to , one thing i would like to share is that apple had made it really difficult to switch phones , be prepared to do a lot of manual entries +the gestures /ram management and application stability is not as good on android in general , these are just a few things that you will notice in first 2-3 days , but most of them are true for almost any android phone

I switched from iphone to Noting 2a. I do not regret. Everything runs smoothly, NothingOS is a fantastic system.

I was only concerned about the lack of functionalities offered by iCloud. These were not concerns about the Nothing product, but rather about Google services (when I switched from Android to iOS + MacOS 8 years ago, there was a big difference to Apple’s advantage). However, in this case, over the years, Google has caught up with Apple.

Hello everyone,

I’m considering making a significant change in my tech life and would love to hear your opinions and advice on it.

After almost 16 years using iPhone and deeply immersed in the Apple ecosystem, I’m contemplating the possibility of trying something new: the Nothing Phone 2a or even the 2. The idea of exploring a different device is exciting to me, but I also have some concerns and questions.

The most important aspect of my current experience with my iPhone 12 Pro is the ease of sharing a photo library with my wife through our Apple One plan and iCloud. Does anyone have experience with similar alternatives in the NothingOS ecosystem?

Additionally, I’ll need to transfer important data such as photos, videos, notes, voice memos, and contacts. Could anyone provide guidance on how to do this efficiently and safely from iOS to NothingOS?

While I’m excited about the idea of exploring a new operating system after so long, I’m concerned about the transition and how it would affect integration with other Apple devices we have at home, such as Apple TV, AirPods, MacBook Air, etc. Has anyone experimented with interoperability between Apple devices and Nothing 2a?

I’m also willing to adapt to new ways of interacting with my phone, but I’d like to know what resources or support are available to facilitate this transition. Can anyone recommend tutorials or online support groups to assist with getting familiar with NothingOS?

Lastly, I’d love to learn more about the differences between iCloud and Google services in terms of storage, features, security, and device compatibility. Does anyone have detailed information or a comparative chart they could share?

I greatly appreciate any advice, experiences, or information you can offer. Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards,

Art ZeGal

Transferring data from iPhone to Nothing Phone 2 is easy. During setup, a built-in tool lets you copy contacts, messages, photos, music, and some apps using a cable connection. Just be prepared to redownload some apps and data if needed.

Please help, the migration from iphone is not working. when I plug in both phones (iphone 15 and nothing 2a) the nothng says can’t connect to other device, try another cable. If your other device is an iphone keep it unloked. of course it is unlocked and tried different cables, apple’s and nothing’s. also tried through wifi, doesn’t work either

i´ve reset the nothing to factory settings to try again, it did not work either… any ideas?

thanks
