1. Use the iPhone cable and the adapter included with your Galaxy Note 8 to connect the two smartphones.
2. Select “Smart Switch” in the menu that pops up and press “OK”. By default, the Smart Switch icon should appear in the lower right hand corner.
3. Tap “Trust” on your old phone. Obviously, tapping “Don’t Trust” is going to negate the entire process.
4. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will then get down to work, as it searches for the connected iPhone and performs all of the necessary tasks accordingly. There will be a circular percentage bar that denotes the search progress, and once everything essential has been discovered, a list of items will be shown on the Galaxy Note 8’s display. Select the corresponding items that you would like to transfer by tapping on the respective radio buttons. These include Contacts, Messages, Calendar, Notes, App list, Call log/Block list, Bookmarks, Clock, Wi-Fi, and of course, core essentials of any modern day smartphone: music, photos and videos, among others.
