News Synopsis

Switching from an iPhone to Android is by no means an easy task, but Google has developed its own "Switch to Android" app for iOS users. This allows you to use your Android smartphone as a hotspot to transfer data "wirelessly" from your iPhone.

There are several ways to save your data, but for example, backing up your data to Google Drive or connecting a cable makes it much easier to work with Google's new app. According to TechCrunch, Google is starting to make the app publicly available, but it may take some time before it is actually available. Google spokeswoman Ivy Hunt said that the rollout should be completed in a few weeks.

"What we're waiting for is an update to Pixel devices that allows them to work with the app. Once the devices are all ready, then the app will be available in the markets where Pixel phones are sold,” she added. 

The Switch to Android app currently works only on Google Pixel, but it is expected that it will soon be available for other devices as well. The Switch to Android app allows you to transfer locally stored photos, videos, calendar events, contacts, and more.
