Google Tool to Help Transition from iOS to Android—Here’s How to Use It

Google has a new tool that will help users transition from iOS to Android, and this tool will help bring several files and information from one device to another. Instead of manually inputting several information from one device to another, Google will allow users to utilize the tool and have a seamless experience for their needs.

Google Tool: iOS to Android Transition Tool Now Available

Google has a new tool that will help users transition from iOS to Android, and it is available on the iPhone's platform that will bring its data to the new device. The app is available to download via this direct link only, and searching for "Switch to Android" will get you no such application from Google, as it is unlisted on the website.

The feature allows users to transfer their data and critical files from one device to another, ensuring that everything is in a wireless setup with fast transfer capabilities. Users can transfer Contacts, Photos, Videos, Calendar events, and other inputs in this case.

The Switch to Android is available on both iOS and Android devices. Apple has a similar app called Move to iOS, available via the Google Play Store.

How to Use this iOS to Android Transition Tool

9to5 Google demonstrated how to use the Switch to Android app, with the application being self-explanatory as Google will help users and guide them along the process. First, users need to download the app and start its operation.

Having the app on the Android device, open a QR code for the iPhone to scan. Upon successful scanning, users may now select the files they want to transfer, and the app will do it wirelessly.

Moreover, the Switch will help move much information from the iPhone to Android and turn off iMessage.

Google's Android and iOS

Google's Android is shaping up to be the top preferred smartphone operating system globally, but it is currently the top used due to its availability and affordability features. Android 13 is the upcoming system from Google, and it will be the software that will bring new offers from the company, focusing on new techs like eSIMs and better security.

Some focus on turning Android into iOS, as both companies have several features that look like the other product. One tweak to an Android smartphone changed its Type-C connector into a Lightning port that will transfer data and charge differently compared to its original setup.

The debate about Android being better than iOS and vice versa is a long-running task in public already.

However, tech rivalry is not that massive now, especially as these companies already work together to integrate their apps into their competition's platforms. Despite that setup, the public still has several hard times transitioning from Android to iOS or iOS to Android as there is no clear way for this change.

Google's new tool aims to help bridge that transition and provide help in the change.
