Google is currently building out a new iOS app entitled \u201cSwitch to Android<\/a>\u201d that will assist anyone wanting to, well, switch to Android. The app will likely be able to copy the vast majority of your important data from your iPhone and send it to your new Android device of choice.<\/p>\n

New lines of code were found in Android\u2019s official \u201cData Restore Tool\u201d after an update (to version 1.0.382048734), spotted by 9to5Google<\/i><\/a> in its latest \u201cAPK Insight\u201d teardown. The code included a few mentions of a Google-developed \u201cSwitch to Android\u201d app for iOS.<\/p>\n

The code highlighted the steps a user would need to take to transfer the data. What\u2019s most interesting is that, rather than having you use a USB-C to Lightning cable to transfer data (or backing it up and redownloading it from Google Drive), the app appears to create a local Wi-Fi network (like a hotspot) on the Android device. Then the iPhone will connect to said network, and the apps will take care of everything else.<\/p>\n

It looks like the \u201cSwitch to Android\u201d feature will let you transfer apps, SMS messages, iCloud and device contacts, and iMessage messages. However, it likely won\u2019t be able to transfer any paid apps; you\u2019ll probably have to re-download those from the Android store and pay for them again. We\u2019ll have to wait until the app is officially released to know for sure, though.<\/p>\n

While Android already has some guides and resources<\/a> available for making the jump, the app will certainly streamline the process, perhaps making it more appealing to those who have been on the fence about making the switch. And given that iOS already has a \u201cMove to iOS\u201d app<\/a>, the new app will help strike a balance there as well.<\/p>\n
