2.1 Transfer Data from HTC to iPhone

Moving from an HTC device to an iPhone can be a big step and will need some ‘getting used to' with the new device. So the best thing in such a confusing time is to have the contents of your old device safely copied to your device.

Method 1: Moving Files to iTunes on PC

This is a very simple method and we will be utilizing the iTunes for the transfer of files. Also, a drawback of this method is that only photos and videos can be transferred from an HTC device to an iPhone.

• Use a USB cable and connect your HTC device to your PC.
• Open the storage drive of the HTC device on your PC. Select the images and videos you wish to transfer and copy all of them to a folder.
• Now connect your iPhone to the same pc and open iTunes. Click the Device button, then Photos, Selected Photos and finally find the folder you have created on your pic and tap Sync.

Once the syncing is complete, you will be able to access all the files in the folder on your iPhone.

Method 2: Using Move to iOS App

Move to iOS is an application developed by Apple to transfer files from any device to an iPhone. Which means this application can be used only if the target device is an iPhone.

• Install the Move to iOS application on your HTC device from the Google Play Store.
• Turn on your new iPhone and select the Move Data from Android option which can be seen while you start setting up the device.

• Open the Move to iOS application on your HTC device and hit Continue.
• Enter the code generated by your iPhone in your HTC device to proceed. A secure wireless connection will be established, once you enter the code.
• Select the files or applications you wish to transfer and move on with the transfer process.

• Once the transfer is complete, safely terminate the connection between both the devices.

2.2 Transfer Data from HTC to Other Android phones

It's not just HTC and iPhone that are available in the global market. There is a great probability that most of the people will be choosing any other Android device once they are done with their HTC device. So let us have a look at the methods which can be used to transfer files from an HTC to other Android devices.

Method 1: via Bluetooth

Bluetooth is one feature that has been in use for transferring files for a long time. Even though there are better options for file transferring now, Bluetooth is still used and is one of the easiest choices, if the file size is not very large.

• Turn on the Bluetooth on both your HTC and the other Android device. Pair both the devices using the passkey.

• Take your HTC device and go to the location of the files you wish to transfer. Select the files and tap on the 3 dots at the top. Tap on the Share option and select the Bluetooth icon. Tap on the name of the paired Android device, which will be displayed on the top.
• The transfer process will be initiated. The time taken to complete the transfer will depend on the Bluetooth version and the file size.

Method 2: via a Traditional SD Card

This is the oldest method of file transferring we have been using. To carry out this process, there should be an option to insert an external SD card in both the HTC and the other Android device.

• Take your HTC device and copy the files you wish to keep on your removable external SD card.

• Once the copying is complete, safely remove the SD card from your HTC device and insert it into your new Android device.
• You can either copy these files to your device storage by using the Copy and Paste option, or you can choose to access these files from the SD card.

2.3 Transfer WhatsApp from HTC to Any Other Phone

This application lets you get the HTC WhatsApp transfer done in few simple steps.
