Google’s Switch to Android app now supports all Android 12 phones. The free iOS app is designed to make it easy to switch to Android and transfer important data, such as your iPhone contacts and calendar entries. Google released the app earlier this year, but it was initially limited to its Pixel devices. With support for all Android 12 phones, this is an important app if you’re moving from an iPhone to a new Android device.
The Switch to Android app initiates a transfer process by displaying a QR code on the iPhone, which you then scan to start transferring photos, videos, contacts, and calendar events. Data can be transferred wirelessly instead of connecting two phones with a cable, but the cable option is faster and better suited for transferring large amounts of videos and photos.
The app even supports transferring WhatsApp messages. During the process, you will be prompted to launch WhatsApp to transfer a complete history of messages, photos, and voice messages.
And if you’re switching from an iPhone to an Android phone instead, there’s an app for that. Apple has its own Move to iOS app available since 2015 to help Android users switch to iOS.
