Migrate Text messages to iPhone

[throwthedice]

I'm sure there's a way to copy/sync messages from android phone to iPhone. I tried to search the forum and Google as well, yet no simple way of doing this. Every site wants me to install an app - which still ok but I don't want to install some crap software, which is my I'm creating a thread to know your opinion on this.

The "android to iOS" is a poor app that only works when you are still setting up the phone and not later.

i'm sorry you are having issues with this. I used the android to iOS during initial setup and all my messages transferred. Maybe re-do the initial setup and try using android to iOS. but first back up the iphone, do a factory reset and them then restore. Maybe it works that way. Its a pain but that may be the only way. Sorry!

So if I understand this correctly, I will have to back up my phone, then reset to factory and use the android to ios app and then restore again? Won't this overwrite whatever I have done i.e., move my stuff to iOS?
