As of iOS 11.3, Messages in iCloud is back and is available for "testing and evaluation purposes," marking the official return of the feature. According to Apple's release notes, once iOS 11.3 beta 1 is installed, Messages will prompt users to turn on Messages in the Cloud when it is first launched. Messages in the Cloud is automatically enabled for users who have two-factor authentication and iCloud Backup enabled, says Apple. The new Messages in iCloud feature will be a welcome change for iPhone, iPad, and Mac users who prefer not to delete their messages.
Over the course of several years, Messages can take up a lot of space. That space can now be freed up with the bulk of older messages stored directly in iCloud rather than on-device. Do messages count against your 5GB of iCloud space, I'm assuming they do. Im baffled too. What value does this actually add other than allowing a 3rd party to access your "encrypted" messages stored on iCloud, Why the hell would you want to keep your messages for ten years, Don't understand this. I delete all my messages daily.
Clicking on Import will now add the events to the Google Calendar you select (if you have more than one). You’ll need to repeat the process for each calendar. Please note that without using a questionable third party tool, it is not currently possible to transfer iMessage or WhatsApp chats from iOS to Android or vice versa. We can only recommend backing up your chats in iCloud for now. The most seamless way to manage your iCloud emails on an Android smartphone is through the preinstalled mail app, using IMAP access from Apple.
With SMTP access, you can still send e-mails under the old Apple address, too. The necessary server data for setting it up is in this Apple support document. Once again, the easiest way to do transfer everything is via iCloud. Cloud (Mac) and do the same. If you haven’t already downloaded iCloud for Windows you can get it from here.
What we’re doing here is ensuring that our iPhone bookmarks are being synchronized with our PC or Mac. Options and then choose Firefox or Chrome. Click Apply and then Merge, and you’ll be told to download the iCloud Bookmarks extension for the browser you selected. This extension will sync your bookmarks from Safari to Chrome or Firefox.
On a PC, open Chrome and log in to the Google Account you use for Android and the bookmarks will be synced automatically. Import Bookmarks and Settings and select Safari as the source. Firefox is a little trickier for both PC and Mac. Show All Bookmarks and then click on the star icon in the toolbar.
This brings up the importing and backup options. Select Import Data From Another Browser and choose Safari. On both PC and Mac, the next step is to click on Firefox’s Tools menu and select Set Up Sync. This enables you to log in to your Firefox Account (if you have one) or create a Firefox Account (if you don't). Pair a Device to get the bookmarks onto Firefox on your phone.
If you're using the Google Photos app on your iOS device, this is easy if you enabled Google's automatic backups. Just get the Google Photos Android app (probably preinstalled on your new phone), set it up and everything will be there for you. The manual way to transfer photos from iPhone to Android is to drag everything and drop it (if you have a Windows PC). Connect the iPhone via USB, open My Computer and look for the iPhone icon.
Open it and look for the DCIM folder. That’s where your pictures are; just select them and drag them to a folder on your PC. You can then connect your Android phone and drag the files from your PC to your phone. If you’re feeling particularly flash, you can connect iPhone and Android at the same time and drag photos from one to the other, but we’d recommend transferring to the PC first so you’ve got a backup of your pictures.
