Google has been rumored to be working on a new migration app for iPhone users to transfer their data to Android since last year. Earlier this year, we saw a report hinting at the existence of the “Switch to Android” app for iPhones. And now, without much hype or hullaballoo, Google has finally released the Switch to Android app for iOS today. Check out the details right below.
The Switch to Android app is primarily a data-migration tool for iOS users to easily transfer their local iPhone data to a new Android device without using any physical cables. This is similar to the “Move to iPhone” app, which Apple launched years ago to make it easier to switch from Android to iOS.
“The Switch to Android app from Google helps you quickly and securely move your most important data types – photos, videos, contacts, and calendar events — to a brand new Android device without fussy cables. The app also walks you through other important steps to setting up your device, like turning off iMessage so you don’t miss text messages from friends and family,” Google writes in the app description.
As for the availability, while iOS users can access the Switch to Android app via the corresponding link, it is not accessible via the App Store directly. Additionally, searching for it on Apple’s app store does not bring up the app, and Google has also not updated its official Switch to Android website to reflect the release of the app yet.
