📱 Setting up from an iPhone?

FinWise doesn't run on iOS — reading incoming bank SMS automatically is the whole feature, and iOS never lets any app read another app's messages. There's no iPhone version.

If you're moving to a new Android phone and want your old iPhone's message history on it, your phone's own official migration tool can bring it over via USB:

Samsung phone: Smart Switch — Samsung's own app, pre-installed on most Samsung phones.
Other Android phones: Google's own Switch to Android app.

This brings over history — it doesn't make FinWise track new transactions unless that Android phone keeps receiving your bank's texts going forward (i.e. your SIM is in it).
