You can transfer contacts between an iPhone 11 Pro, 11, X, 8 Plus, or older model and a Huawei P9, P10, P20, Mate 9, Mate 10, Nova, or Honor phone.
As Huawei phone usage grows globally, users are switching to devices like the P, Mate, and Nova series. If you're an iPhone user looking to upgrade from an iPhone 5 or 6, a first step is to transfer your contacts to the new Huawei phone, ensuring you can stay in touch with contacts using the new device.
Transferring contacts from an iPhone to a Huawei device can be done with two reliable solutions. To start, you can use the "Move to Android" feature on your iPhone, which will automatically transfer your contacts, photos, and other data to your new Huawei device.

Step 1: To access iCloud, open the Firefox or Chrome browser on your computer, navigate to iCloud.com, and sign in using your Apple account and password.
Step 2: Click Contacts on the main screen and select the contacts you want to sync to your Huawei phone, or click the gear button and choose Select All to copy the whole contacts.
Step 3: Select Export vCard and save it on your computer.
Step 4: Connect your Huawei phone to the computer via a USB cable, copy the VCF file to the device's storage.
Step 5: To transfer contacts from an iPhone to a Huawei phone, open the Contacts app on the Huawei phone, tap Import/Export, then select Import from storage, followed by Import from SD card, and finally import the Vcard file from the iPhone. This will add the iPhone contacts to the Huawei phone.
If you're not familiar with iCloud, you can use iPhone data transfer software like Qiling MobiMover to export iPhone contacts. This tool allows you to transfer various types of data, including contacts, photos, music, videos, ringtones, and books, from your iPhone to a computer with just one click. Additionally, MobiMover enables you to transfer files from PC to iPhone without using iTunes, sync data between two iOS devices, and manage iOS data with ease.
To transfer your iPhone contacts to your Huawei phone, download MobiMover on your computer, which allows you to move your iPhone contacts with one-click in the first step, and then import the content to your Huawei phone in the second procedure.
Step 1. Download and run Qiling MobiMover on your computer (Mac or PC), then connect your device to your Mac. Unlock your iPhone and click "Trust" in the prompt asking for your permission.
Step 2. To transfer contacts from your iPhone or iPad to your Mac, go to the "Contacts" app, click on the default storage path to select a custom path if needed, and then click on "Transfer" to initiate the transfer process.
Step 3. Once the transfer process is complete, you can view the contacts on your Mac and export them as a CSV, VCF, or HTML file, based on your export settings.
Step 1: To find the exported iPhone contacts in HTML format, open the exported file, copy the content, and paste it into a new Excel sheet. Then, save the Excel file as a CSV file.
Step 2: Open Outlook on your computer and go to the Address Book. Click File > Export > Business Card, which will export your contacts as a VCF file. This file can be used as a filename.
Step 3: Connect your Huawei phone to the computer with a USB file, and drag the VCF file to your SD card.
