Google has launched the “Switch to Android” app on iOS, for those who give up the iPhone

Google has launched the Switch to Android application without an official announcement and without prior notice. It can be downloaded from iPhones directly from the App Store and allows for a smoother transition from iOS to any Android device. That way, you don’t have to worry about copying your phonebook, calendar events, or even photos from your gallery, and everything can be automatically transferred between the two devices.

Switch to Android transfers your data from iPhone to a phone with Google software

The Switch to Android application is simple and intuitive, and can be used quickly even by users without much knowledge of technology. This allows you to choose which data to transfer from the above (contacts, calendar, photos and videos), then start the transfer via Wi-Fi.

Also, for users who aren’t aware that simply moving their SIM to another phone doesn’t disable sending iMessage messages to their old phone, the app guides users to remove this feature from their account. That way, even iPhone users will be able to send text messages to your number. Finally, Google even allows you to import photos and videos from iCloud to Google Photos, to make sure you have everything exactly as you knew it from your old phone.

These transfer capabilities have been available between Android phones for a long time. Samsung, Huawei and other companies have developed their own solutions that allow fast data transfer between phones, and Apple allows something similar between iPhones, to get the most familiar experience on the new phone.

Recently, even WhatsApp has started to offer fast transfers between iOS and Android, but only in this sense and only through a cable connection. Furthermore, if you want to switch from Android to iOS, you need to use third-party software solutions, as this functionality does not yet exist. Apple has been offering the “Move to iOS” app on the Play Store for a long time.
