So my I had an iPhone in the past but it no longer works. And I got a new phone but its an android. So what I want to know is if there's any way I can see the text messages from my iPhone. I do have the log in info for my icloud if that helps? Any help will be highly appreciated
It's possible you can get your iPhone's messages from your iPhone backup.
1. Extract IPhone Messages File
First of all we have to extract the message files. To do this, open up iTunes and connect your iPhone to your computer. On the left bar, right click your iPhone and select 'Backup'.
Next, to locate the backup file.
For Windows users: C://[Users]/[Username]/AppData/Roaming/A… Computer/Mobile Sync
For Mac OS users: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
You will see folders with random characters; open the one with the most recent timestamp. Search for file 3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28. To make searching easier for you, just copy and paste the file name into the search box.
After locating the file, transfer it to your Android phone by copying and pasting the 3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28 file to your Android phone SD card/ storage.
2. Convert IPhone Messages To Android Format
To start converting your iPhone messages to Android format, you need iSMS2droid.
Open iSMS2droid and tap on 'Select iPhone SMS Database'. It will ask you to search for your iOS messages backup file. Locate and choose the 3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28 file.
You can choose to select which messages you want to load or you can choose to load all of them. The conversion will then start.
3. Restore IPhone Messages To Android Phone
After the conversion, you will need another app help restore it into your Android phone. Download SMS Backup & Restore. Open it and tap on Restore and it will direct you to the file directory where the converted files are. Tap OK.
You can choose to restore all messages or to only restore messages from a particular date. Tap OK to start restoring. You will be asked if you want to check for duplicates of messages during the restoration process.
Upon completion, you will see the number of successful messages restored, as well as those that can't be restored.
Double check your messages in your Inbox to find all your perfectly restored messages.
