Worked perfectly for us, perhaps because we did NOT include WhatsApp in the list of what to transfer to iPhone. Most of the 1-star reviews mentioned WhatsApp as the thing that gave the most trouble, so we just skipped it, and everything went great, no problems.

**fix** PLEASE upvoter, so more people can see this after several attempts found the problem. Under battery settings. Put your Android in performance mode. Remove all optimizations under battery save settings. Turn off all optimizations. Other good to settings. In Wi-Fi forget all routers, including current one, and use USB cable for transfer. It will subsequently ask you to connect Wi-Fi directly to iphone. My 8 gb transfer took only 20 mins. It definitely works !!

Two days transferring data android to iphone, all useless. Instructions followed

Finally, decided to make the move off of Samsung Galaxy S24 to an iPhone 17. Mainly because it didn't work well with the car's Android Play. Turns out to be a bad move. This app did absolutely nothing. Several attempts on my own following Apple support instructions and numerous search articles. I even took it to an Apple Store and five people couldn't get it to work. According to them it's a 75% doesn't work. Lost all msgs/texts and had to transfer my contacts, pics and music manually.
