Google and Apple make it easier to switch from iOS to Android
"Starting with Android 17, you will be able to transfer from an iPhone to Android much more easily. The feature expands its capabilities, and it can now transfer accessibility settings, alarms, apps (free apps with user data), calendar entries, call history, email accounts, eSIM, files like images, videos, etc., messages, notes, passwords, wallpapers, WhatsApp data and even home screen layout."
"Right now, going from iOS to Android will mean you'll lose a large portion of your data. Starting with Android 17, you will be able to transfer from an iPhone to Android much more easily. The feature expands its capabilities, and it can now transfer accessibility settings, alarms, apps (free apps with user data), calendar entries, call history, email accounts, eSIM, files like images, videos, etc., messages, notes, passwords, wallpapers, WhatsApp data and even home screen layout."
"Just like most recent features, like Circle to Search functionality, the upgraded switch will be made available on Galaxy and Pixel phones first. The new switch will likely debut with Android 17 and Samsung's One UI 9 that will come with the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip8, Z Fold8 and the Z Fold8 Wide this July. The feature will then trickle down to other Android phones."
"Samsung has already kicked off the One UI 9.0 beta program, so we might get to see the upgraded Smart Switch sooner than expected."
Starting with Android 17, iOS-to-Android migration becomes easier by transferring more categories of data that are often lost today. The improved transfer supports accessibility settings, alarms, apps (including free apps with user data), calendar entries, call history, email accounts, eSIM, and files such as images and videos. It also includes messages, notes, passwords, wallpapers, WhatsApp data, and home screen layout. Availability is staged, with the upgrade rolling out first on Galaxy and Pixel phones. The feature is expected to debut with Android 17 and Samsung One UI 9, arriving alongside upcoming Galaxy Z Flip8 and Z Fold8 models, then expanding to other Android devices. Samsung has started a One UI 9.0 beta program, which may bring the feature sooner.
