Mobile phone advice please?

Changing a Samsung (android) to I-phone. How can I transfer Contacts etc without doing it individually ? Is there some sort of App I can use to take them off one and then replace on the other ? Thanks for advice.

    What I do for two Android phones should work in your case because iPhone also uses Vcard (vcf) format for contact export/import.

    On the old phone, go into contacts, export the contacts as .vcf (Vcard) format. That should create a file on your phone, probably called Contacts.vcf

    Email the Contacts.vcf file to an email you can access from the new phone (or use a cloud drive accessible by both phones, like dropbox).

    On the new phone, download the Contacts.vcf file. See if the new phone's Contacts app has an Import function to import the the file. On an Android new phone all I have to do is try to open the Contacts.vcf file and it offers to do it with the Contacts app (and when I agree, Contacts imports the list of contacts).

    Could depend on which service you use, likely Google. There are Move to iOS apps available.

    this should help with anything you need to transfer over.

    Oh & its iPhone not I-phone
