Octane SMS and MMS Transfer for Android
It's not perfect, but it's the best app you can get for transferring iOS message history to Android. There are plenty of apps that handle SMS messages but this is the *ONLY* one that handles MMS messages and attachments. It successfully transferred 4 years of messages with only a few misses (which appear to be due to unsupported message types like 3D touch). That being said, it's still not perfect. iCloud import failed every time I tried it. Importing messages takes a long time -- my phone took nearly two days to import messages about one per second. Perhaps it's a platform bottleneck but it was frustrating not to have any access to messages while the import ran. After the import was done the only major error I can find is that group chats are completely mangled. Instead of transferring the group chat over, it splits it into separate thread with each participant in the group and gives each thread a copy of the messages. I didn't use many group chats so it didn't hurt me much but be warned if you do.
It's not perfect, but I'm probably a torture test fot this app, 116,000 messages with photos took about 18hours to import on my S8+ with no apps in the background, if I had too many apps open it would crash and I'd have to restart the import. Had my iTunes backup on the internal storage too. Group iMessage texts were split by person and sometimes merged with seperate convos with those people. Some random MMS to a single person became group convos with random people in it. Basically couldn't text for 2 days while I went through this process. Overall, for the price, and my crazy demand, it did well enough, would have paid like $20 If it meant it was gonna import it perfectly.
Too many errors, lots of resetting and made progress but after an hour of trying to get 1400 messages to transfer with all the different options, had to give up and try something else. Trying to transfer from S8 to Zoom 3. Spent $1.99 but but it didn't work...
Worked perfect. Did internal backup, manually uploaded the two files to my Google drive, made a new folder and copied the name, downloaded from drive to new phone transferred from the app and it's done. No ads other then the paid version, and clean easy ti understand ui.
Don't waste your time. I waited for over an hour for everything to transfer from Google Drive. It gave me an error message after the transfer finished. I received a partial download with several threads from the same people. SMS and MMS are in different threads. Contacts have the word "null" and my replies to people are missing.
It's supposed to be free, but I had no problem upgrading as long as it did what I needed. I uploaded my iPhone content to my Google Drive AND backed it up on my icloud. Yet after paying for the upgrade, it still did not see any files in my Google or my icloud. Complete waste of money.
I upgraded to premium on my old device but my new device still says error and that i already own it but it still will not let me use premium features.
don't waste your money on the premium version to transfer mms it doesn't do a good job. mms messages sent to one person appear in separate threads from the text messages on my phone
Nice application
Perfect application to move your iOS messages to Android phone.
Excellent!!

Destroys all iPhone data. Not acceptable. In order to transfer SMS & MMS messages to your iPhone, you have to erase your device & then restore the special backup the app created. That backup contains nothing else but your messages from your Android device, so basically you destroy all the other data your iPhone just to copy your messages over. Paid for the premium version, very bad software.
