Google is making it much easier to transfer data from your old iPhone onto a new Android phone.
Currently, if you own an iPhone but have bought one of the best Android phones, transferring your data across is a nightmare. You’ve got to dig out specific cables, juggle cloud backups, perform a sacrament to long-forgotten gods – but it sounds like that could change very soon. Apparently, Google is working on a new ‘Switch to Android’ app which would make it much easier to send all your important files from an iPhone to an Android, just like it is for sending your Android data to an iPhone. This comes from 9to5Google, which got some hands-on time with the app. The website found an app you can download onto an iPhone, which presumably will have an Android counterpart when it’s fully launched, because when you open it you’re prompted to scan a QR code on said Android app.
