Google would be about to launch an application to transfer data from iOS to Android. We tell you what is known in this note!
Last year, it was revealed that Google I was working on an app for iOS focused on making it easy to move from the operating system of Manzana to Android. An application similar to the one you have Manzana on Android to switch from a device with Android at one with iOS.
The application of Google for iOS would connect your old device Manzana with the new of Android through Wifi to copy the information directly. This is different from the process that many have to do now, which is to save all the information on the device iOS on google drive and then restore it on the new device Android.
Everything would seem to indicate that the application to make the change of iOS to Android It will allow you to transfer contacts, messages and probably applications from one device to another. What was not known was if the application would only copy what is in local memory or if it would also copy iCloud.
However, by a recent update of Google in the app Data Transfer Toolwhich is the one that receives the information that is passed, you can see that we can migrate what is in iCloud to the ecosystem of Google. The official update information says that the app Switch to Android on iOS you can automatically migrate all photos and videos from the iCloud to google photos.
The description includes a link that redirects you to the help page of google photos where it is explained how to transfer the information. On this page, they explain that to make the transfer you have to log into your account Manzanaask them to do a data transfer and wait until the information from iCloud get to the account Google, which can take up to a week. What is not known is whether the new application of Google for iOS, Switch to Androidit will make the transfer instantly or if it will also have to wait.
Another apparent feature of the app allows data to be transferred from one device to another via a cable. At the moment, the recommended option is the transfer by google drive. The possibility of being able to transfer information via cable can be seen in the latest update of the application. But this option would be one of the least accessible since a cable would be needed USB-C to Lightning. To find out if the application Switch to Android will come true, we will have to wait for it Google say something official or show up at the store Manzana.
