How to transfer contacts from iPhone to Samsung smartphone

Many users, not adhering to a clear operating system, prefer to use both Apple devices and gadgets from their main competitor, Android. If you decide to switch from iPhone to Samsung or any other Android device, the main thing is to ensure an easy transition from one operating system to another, in particular, transferring contacts.

The main function of a smartphone is still the ability to make calls, so the phone book is usually the most important user tool. You don't need to re-create all your contacts when you just need to transfer them.
