Apple has worked a long way to design a tool that allows you to transfer data from an Android device to iOS in a simple way. A dedicated website and a good application are key to facilitating the user experience of new iOS users. Rumors pointed to Google I was developing something similar for try to capture iOS users and bring them to Android devices. Although there was already a way to back up via Google Drive, Google has launched 'Switch to Android', an app that allows you to easily transfer data from an iPhone to an Android device.

The app also teaches you other important steps to set up your device, such as turning off iMessage so you can receive all SMS from your friends and family.
You will be asked for a series of permissions in order to transfer data from your iPhone to your new Android device.
This is the description of the new google app. With her, we can transfer contacts, photos, videos and contacts from iOS to Android in a simple way. The application offers a series of steps to the user with which to be able to decide what content wants to be transferred. After that, it suggests disabling iMessages and FaceTime to prevent any contact from calling us and we no longer have an iPhone available.
Finally, if we have Photos in iCloud we will have to make a request for those photos to move to the Google cloud, that request is also guided through the Switch to Android app. The mechanism by which the app works is similar to that of Apple, which is to generate a Wi-Fi network to which the iPhone connects and the information is transferred quickly and safely.
The application is already available in the United States and in other markets such as Spain. However, there are many countries that still do not have the app in the App Store. But it is a matter of days before the global publication of this new app 'Switch to Android'
