Android data migration utility app
Switch To Android is a free utility application developed by Google for mobile devices. It is a data migration tool that was specifically made to help iOS smartphone or tablet users transfer their data as they switch to devices running the Android mobile operating system.
Similar to Gmail and Google Maps, Switch To Android is one of the latest services being offered by Google, but this time, it's directly targeting iOS users who are looking to switch to the Android platform. It makes it easy for them to copy important data onto their new devices seamlessly and quickly.
Making the switch
Getting a new smartphone or tablet is always an exciting time for any prospective buyer, but transferring your data to your new device is never a simple task. It gets even more complicated once you factor in what mobile platform you're on and are looking to get an Android device. Thankfully, the Switch To Android app by Google itself makes the transition more seamless and intuitive for you.
This utility tool basically does most of the data migration process for you. Simply choose what you want to copy over, which includes your contacts, calendar events, photos, and videos. Once set, continue and it will immediately proceed with transferring the files over to your new device. You can also get a copy of your text messages, but you'll have to disable iMessage for it to work.
What's more, you can copy photos and videos from your iCloud storage if you have any. You won't need to plug in your device for any of this as everything is done online. Just ensure you have a stable internet connection, and you're good to go. The only thing you need to be aware of before proceeding is that this tool is only compatible with iOS 12.0 and above.
Fast and painless transition
If you're looking to make the switch from iOS to Android, but having second thoughts due to the hassle of copying your files over to a new device, Switch To Android can help out. It's fast, intuitive, and covers a wide variety of data types. Plus, the option to transfer text and media from iMessage and iCloud is a nice bonus and is very much appreciated. Recommended.
