The app allows you to copy the most important data from your iPhone to an Android device. Until today, there was only one official way to transfer your data from iPhone to Android, which is to backup everything to Google Drive and then download it to your new device. Your apps are not included. The official 'Switch to Android' app for iOS makes it all a lot easier. References to the new app were found in an update to the long-standing Data Restore Tool.
The procedure consists of a number of steps, starting with downloading the ‘Switch to Android’ app from the App Store. A local WiFi network is then set up between the two devices, after which data is exchanged.
Google also arranges your Android apps
In addition, Google also ensures that apps that you have installed are also installed on your new device. How this works is not yet entirely clear. Google probably has a list of apps whose Android counterpart is known. It will then be downloaded from the Play Store. You will of course have to repurchase paid apps. We expect the app to appear in the App Store soon. For people who like to say that they are really tired of Apple now, it is something to look forward to.
