Had issues transferring data from my wife’s S10 to iPhone 11...keeps getting stuck at 35% then fails. Anybody else had this issue?
 
How are you doing the transfer? The instructions I have say to do it this way:

  1. Set up your iPhone or iPad until you reach the screen titled "Apps & Data".
  2. Tap "Move Data from Android" option.
  3. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Play Store and search for Move to iOS.
  4. Open the Move to iOS app listing.
  5. Tap Install.

On move to IOS it keeps crashing at 35%
 
It should work. I'm wondering if there's something that's transferring which iOS doesn't like? Perhaps your carrier can assist in transferring the data? I use T-Mobile and as long as I go into a genuine T-Mobile store they are usually willing to help. Might be worth a try.

I didn't use the built in feature, it never worked for me 100% on any phone, I transferred my files manually like music and pics (I use Windows for now) using an app called syncios which makes it a breeze to copy/paste the data.

Next, I exported my Gmail contacts as a vCard file then imported them into my Apple account and I was ready to roll.
 
I hope this is helpful at least for contacts........

I use an app called Contacts Sync.


It keeps my contacts between Google and Apple synced at all times online without effort.

I do this if I ever want to switch between Apple phones and go back to Android or vice versa, I’ve always got them updated and ready to roll too.

I’ve used to save my vCardd to computer before this app as well.

When I update anything on my iPhone contacts, the app will also update my Google contacts including contact pics.

Thinking it might be SD cars data maybe? Taken the SD out and see if it makes any difference
 
Also don't forget to restart everything including the Wi-Fi router. Restarts == magic sometimes...

Second, it could be some corrupted attachment in messages or an edited photo that crashes the parser.
