1. Championship your iPhone
You should tack your iPhone to Flight Fashion or take impermissible the SIM card ahead creating the backup, otherwise you may receive messages aft you created the backup, and those won't exist included in the fill-in single file and then.
Tie in your iPhone to your computer, start iTunes and create an unencrypted backup away selecting your iPhone and clicking the Indorse Ahead Immediately clitoris
Detailed instructions tooshie make up found connected Malus pumila's support pages.
2. Find your iTunes backup folder
Go to the folder that contains your iTunes backups. Depending connected the operating system you are using, this folder will be settled at the following paths:
Windows:
C:\Users[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\Orchard apple tree Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
OS X:
~/Library/Application Sustain/MobileSync/Backup/
Inside that brochure should be one and only or more folders with random name calling. Get the one that does not have a timestamp (-YearMonthDay-HourMinuteSecond) at the end.
This is the brochure of the backup you created in step 1.
3. Copy the files to your ring
Locate the file 3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28 in the booklet 3d for your messages, and the file 5a4935c78a5255723f707230a451d79c540d2741 in the folder 5a for your call logs
Copy the Indian file(s) you want to import to your Humanoid phone. You can use whatever channel method you ilk, preferably USB, but Dropbox, Email, etc. will also mold.
The app works with whatsoever filename, so you may want to rename the message database file to something like sms.db, and the call log to calls.db to gain it easier to identify them. The renaming is completely optional, though.
If you use the original filename(s) or one of the ones advisable above, the app wish find the files automatically and not prompt you to select the manually.
4. Educate your phone (and yourself)
This is not a hard requirements, but if you have stacks of messages (>50,000), i recommend that you connect your phone to a charger, as the physical process English hawthorn take a while and wont quite a bit of your battery charge. Better safe (and charged) than sad (and having to head start concluded)
I would besides recommend just rental your phone do its affair while the import is running. The import should continue in the background if you absolutely have use your phone for something, but the general-purpose rule of thumb is: the little resources are used for past apps, the faster the signification will finish.
If you have a new-sprung Android device and didn't install any apps that could possibly interfere with iSMSdroid (other SMS apps ilk e.g. Textra), you can hop on to step out 5.
If you are non using the default on Messaging app, theoretically everything should workplace just fine – but i can't promise anything. If it does not, and you are acquiring any errors or weird behaviour (other than those cases covered in the FAQ), you may want to switch hind to the stock Messaging app, or even completely remove any 3rd party messaging apps.
5. Establis the app
Delight continue with installment the app on your sound.
If your Android version is very outdated or there are other reasons why you can't use the app, practice the Online Convertor and import your messages with the 3rd party app SMS Substitute &A; Furbish up.
Delight be alert that i can't render some support for this swear out, beyond converting your message database into a format that can equal record by SMS Backup &A; Restore. #YOYO
6. Start the spell
After opening the app, intercept along the Import Messages Push. If this is the first time you use the app, Android bequeath ask you to allow iSMS2droid confident permissions and too to switch your default messaging lotion to iSMS2droid. This is needful to be capable to publish to Android's messaging database. After the import has finished you will be asked to switch back to your previous messaging application, so there's nothing you have to exchange by yourself.
If you seaport't derived the file away(s) to a folder where the app expects them, surgery if you have used a filename the app doesn't accepted, you leave directly see a single file survival dialog that allows you to navigate to the location of the database file(s).
When you select the content database file, the app will ask you to either import all messages or choice conversations by contact. If you select the later, information technology testament show you the names of the contacts (if you own added them to your call's addressbook), otherwise it will show you only the contacts' phone numbers. If you plan happening using this selective import, i highly recommend adding/syncing all your contacts to your phone before victimization iSMS2droid, so that you can clear see whose messages you are importation.
If you chose to import all messages, the app will now start the import unconscious process, otherwise IT testament load a list of conversations and earmark you to pick the conversations you'd like to significance.
You dismiss continue using your phone while your messages are being foreign, but please be aware that using other apps may decrease the functioning of iSMS2droid, resulting in a longer import time. Or effort it to completely fail. You never know. I would recommend just letting the app brawl its affair in the foreground and not using the telephone for anything else.
Once the moment has finished, you'll be asked to switch your messaging application back to the one that was previously the default, and then you're done!

FAQ
Where can i find my iPhone backups?
Windows: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ OSX: ~/Library/Lotion Affirm/MobileSync/Backup/
Which files do i need to transcript to my Mechanical man phone?
If you want just your messages, you sole need to copy one Indian file, which force out beryllium found in your iTunes fill-in folder (see above), and that is the file
3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28 in the folder 3d
If you privation your call log, you need to imitate the file 5a4935c78a5255723f707230a451d79c540d2741 from the folder 54. (For older iOS versions it's called 2b2b0084a1bc3a5ac8c27afdf14afb42c61a19ca.
My stand-in leaflet does not contain that file!
If your backup folder does non contain the stand-in lodge of the message database, you haven't received or sent some messages since the last time you created a backup.
Please check the old musical accompaniment folders, protrusive with the one that has the most recent timestamp at the end, and search for the file in those.
If you don't have whatever other backup folders, and are perfectly fated that the file you are looking is nowhere to atomic number 4 found (e.g. if you deleted those older backups), you can just send a new messages to individual (or call individual, if you motive for the call log up database),
and then create a new backup, which should then control the file you need to copy.
If you are using an old version of iOS, the call logs file is called 2b2b0084a1bc3a5ac8c27afdf14afb42c61a19ca.
The app says "Storage Error – Could not cache the database"
This is a selfsame strange issue, but luckily it's easy to fix: Just rename the database file(s) to something other than the germinal/suggested filenames, suchlike MyMessagesFile.
This prevents the app from finding the file automatically, so it will then ask you to select it manually – after which everything should ferment as expected.
The app says my file is encrypted!
In over 5 years of supportive this app, thither hasn't been a single livelihood request for this misplay content where the intellect wasn't either a encrypted backup, or a completely amiss
file. Please double-check the encoding mise en scene for your backups in iTunes, and/operating theatre do a explore for the exact filename in your backup pamphlet.
Does the app keep MMS or iMessage attachments?
None, the app only supports the plain text body of both SMS/MMS and iMessages. For a detailed explanation, please rich person a look at the next question.
My mathematical group messages have been split up!
Android does not support group messages, so all messages from a mathematical group chats you had on your iPhone are imported like direct conversations with the various sender/recipient role.
Why are there nobelium images in my messages?
If you receive a SMS message or plain-text iMessage, your iPhone takes the text body and saves it (collectively with some metadata) into its message database. This also happens when
you receive a MMS subject matter (or iMessage with attachments), just when saving the text body and metadata into the message database, it also downloads the attachments and saves them into
a specific folder happening your iPhones filesystem, and and then puts the path to those attachments into a furcate hold over in the message database.
This means we now have the text body and the info about its attachments in the database – but we don't have the bond files themselves. When you create a backup of your
iPhone, those attachments come besides backed up to your calculator, but all one as a come apart files with a inscrutable computer filename that is founded on the path of the Indian file on your phone.
It would theoretically be possible to also import the attachments, but that would expect you to copy your whole iTunes backup folder to your Android phone, as information technology is out to
predict which files from your backup are message attachments until iSMS2droid actually opens the message database and starts importing.
I am thinking about devising it a two-step process: inaugural step scans the database for attachments and generates a list of additional files you would need to copy, and the second step
would atomic number 4 the actual import of the messages including attachments – after you copied the additive files.
Unluckily i'm not in possesion of an iPhone anymore, so i can't truly fully develop this feature, as IT would command extensive testing with real backups.
Why is it taking soh long?
My examination has shown that a good estimate for the spell speed is 50 messages per second, at to the lowest degree along a past (<=2 years) device. This means you should be capable to import 100.000 messages in 30-45 minutes. Delight keep in mind that any other activity during the consequence will greatly affect this number, especially whatever apps that practice lots of store OR access the storage. Any security apps Oregon anti-virus scanners should also be disabled during the import, every bit they testament most likely try to inspect every single message, which will slow down the process considerably.
The app crashes when i select the database file!
If you are victimization a Samsung device: Samsung has fiddled with their version of Android, causing it to crash when just Reading the count of messages. Newer (2017) Samsung devices seem to be employed o.k. again, so if it's temporary for you, just ignore the cautionary.
While the app has some functionality to detect encrypted files and warn the exploiter about this consequently, some device manufacturers like to mess with Android too much, which causes the encoding detection to fail, resulting in an app crash.
Thus if the app crashes for you, the first thing you should make out is triple-confirmation that you ingest unquestionably disabled backup encryption, and that the file you want to import is from a backup that was created after you disabled the encoding.
If you are either using Samsung twist with a non-so-recent Android version, operating theater don't use a Samsung gimmick but the app crashes anyways, please use the Online Converter.
A lot of messages are missing!
Your messages are most likely non really absent, you just don't take care them – yet. The import process writes those messages to a database, and the Android messaging app and then reads them
from this database to display them. The bigger the database, the longer it takes for the electronic messaging app to burden them, and that's why Android does something called "indexing the database".
You don't need to experience the technical details, but it's a process that is ran for from each one novel message, and it takes a patc. Once the messages are indexed, the messaging app can show them
with nearly atomic number 102 delay. If you are receiving or sending messages, this indexing happens in the fraction of a second, you shouldn't notice IT at all. But as we are piece of writing hundreds, thousands,
or for some users even hundredths of thousand messages to the database, this indexing takes well longer, and the messaging app will just show those messages that have already
been indexed – and that looks like there are messages missing, even if they are in the database.
If it's been more a couple of minutes (OR an time of day, if you foreign a lot of messages) since the spell, and you silent don't see all messages, you can try to reboot your phone and
then look into the messaging app once it has started up again. If you see leastwise some rising messages then, give it some more time to do the indexing, don't fair-minded reboot it once more now.
Lease your phone run through the database, the less you use your phone do during this process, the faster they will show up.
If all fails, you can check if deleting the Messages (not iSMS2droid) app information helps. To coiffure this, either:
– go to Settings -> Apps and Notifications -> Messages (or SMS/MMS), or
– sesquipedalian-exploit your Messages launcher icon -> App-Details
then exploit happening "Storage" and select "Clear information". This should not blue-pencil any of the messages, but only defecate it completely rebuild the database. Before doing this, you should really make followed the early instructions and already created a patronage of your existent messages, soh i'm non gonna mention the importance of doing that once more.
Warning: Samsung twist sensed!
Please see the supra question, "The app crashes when i blue-ribbon the database file!".
Nothing happens later i choice the database file!

My gimmick is not supported!
iSMS2droid requires at to the lowest degree Android "Ice lolly" 5.0, which was released in 2014. If your gimmick is spurting an Android version older than that, iSMS2droid will simply not operate,
and in that respect's nothing that posterior be done about it, exclude updating your device to Humanoid "Lollipop" 5.0 or higher. You shouldn't be buying a device with such an anile Android version
anyways, as the repugnance of iSMS2droid wish be the least of your worries.
If for whatever reason you absolutely must import your messages on such an old device, please use the Online Converter.
What does the name iSMS2droid mean?
The app's identify is a chain of the phrase iPhone SMS to Android (Converter, formerly)
Where is the Call Log up file happening iOS13 (Beaver State newer)?
Malus pumila has distinct that the Call Lumber should lone be backed to iCloud when you are exploitation unecrypted local backups.
It will ease follow created locally when you do encrypted backups, but those are not usable with iSMS2droid.
That means effectively you North Korean won't be able to import your Call Log if you are using iOS 13 (or newer).
