iPhone contacts can be saved to a Windows PC as .vcf files, edited there, or copied to other services and devices. CopyTrans Contactos also handles messages, calendars, and notes, with export options that vary by data type.
How can contacts be moved or backed up?
Connect an iPhone to the PC to view and edit its contacts. CopyTrans Contactos can copy them to Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo, Windows, or another Apple device, or save them on the computer in .vcf format.
To bring contacts onto an iPhone, an import assistant accepts CSV and Excel files. A prepared contact list can then go to the phone in one step, without typing each record.
Which message formats can it save?
The program can back up SMS and iMessage conversations, along with WhatsApp, Viber, and Line chats. Message exports can include received images, videos, and other attachments.
- SMS and iMessage: Word, Excel, plain text, CSV, or HTML
- WhatsApp, Viber, and Line: Word, HTML, or PDF
Can it manage calendars and notes too?
CopyTrans Contactos can copy an iPhone calendar to the PC or Outlook, and lets users add or edit calendar events. It also supports copying local iPhone notes to the PC while retaining their attachments.
The program includes calendar and note workflows for online services as well. However, its current iCloud connection problem prevents access to data stored there; iPhone and Gmail data can still be managed.
