Do you have an iPhone and you’d like to keep your tunes with you wherever you go? There are several methods you can use to move music from iPhone to Android no matter the OS you use.
The process is direct as long as your music is already synced, especially if using Windows OS, but in MacOS, you’ll need a third-party app like Android File Transfer or Google Play Music to sync the music to your Android phone.
iTunes
iTunes will come in handy when you want to move music from iPhone to Android but this depends on whether the music is already synced to your iTunes library. This way, the process is already halfway completed.
The first thing you need to do is sync iPhone to iTunes and make sure all songs are in the library. Just be sure to use an authorized computer so you can transfer all iTunes purchases from the store to the computer.
If you didn’t buy tunes from iTunes Store, and there’s no link to your Apple ID, a third-party app will help.
