Google is adding support for the Switch to Android app on iOS to all Android 12 phones. The company made the announcement in a blog post, noting that its now easy to switch from iPhone to Android.
According to the Tech Giant, “Once you’ve got your new Android phone, follow our easy setup instructions to go through the data transfer process. You’ll be prompted to connect your old iPhone with your new Android phone either with your iPhone cable or wirelessly via the new Switch to Android app.”
The instructions is supposed to walk the usef through how to easily transfer his or her data like your contacts, calendars and photos over to a new phone.
The iOS app, which launched earlier this year, makes the transition between the mobile platforms easier to manage by helping users import their contacts, calendar, photos and videos to their new Android phone. Prior to today’s expansion, the app was limited to Pixel phones.
In addition to moving data, the app offers other instructions about the transfer process, such as how to deregister iMessage in order to continue getting texts on the new Android device. The app will also give you tips for your new device, such as learning how to transfer photos from iCloud.
Before the company introduced the app, Google’s suggested process for moving to Android from iPhone involved having users back up their contacts, calendar, photos and videos via the Google Drive iOS app before changing devices. The new Switch to Android app does the same thing, but in an easier and faster way.
