i moved to vs i've moved to

"I moved to" and "I've moved to" are both acceptable English phrases, but the contexts in which they're used are not the same. "I moved to" is simple past tense, indicating a completed action in the past. "I've moved to" is present perfect tense, indicating an action that happened at an unspecified time before now, often with a connection to the present.
