Last year, reports started it was fostering a “Change to Android” application for iOS clients hoping to take the leap from iPhone to a cell phone running Google’s Android OS to flow that Google. Now that application has shown up. On Monday, Google unobtrusively sent off the Switch to Android application on the App Store in various worldwide business sectors, including the U.S. True to form, the application vows to make the change between versatile stages simpler to oversee by assisting clients with bringing in their contacts, schedule, photographs, and recordings to their new Android telephone.
The application likewise trains clients how to switch off Apple’s iMessage to get instant messages on their new gadget and has them associate with iCloud to relocate their photograph and video library to Android.
Google’s Switch to Android site has not yet been refreshed to demonstrate the new application is accessible and the organization hasn’t authoritatively declared its send off. The application is likewise not showing up on Google’s engineer page on the App Store or in App Store query items. It must be tracked down while tapping the immediate connection.
The organization’s arrangement to create an independent application for iPhone-to-Android switchers was first uncovered last year, when the site 9to5Google dove into the code inside Android’s true Data Restore Tool and detected a reference to a Google-created Switch to Android application for iOS. The site simply last month noticed the application seemed to have acquired the capacity naturally move a clients’ photographs and recordings from iCloud to Google Photos, additionally founded on specifies in another Android application’s code.
There have been different clues that Google has been attempting to make it simpler for clients to move their media content to its own foundation and administrations through backend improvements.

Previously, moves needed to begin from Facebook or iCloud, not from Google’s application itself.
Sadly, one thing Google’s new Switch to Android iOS application doesn’t assist with is relocating a clients’ applications. This is probable because of limits with regards to what outsider applications can access on the client’s gadget. Applications shouldn’t filter the client’s iPhone to extricate a rundown of the wide range of various applications a client has introduced, that is.
In its App Store depiction, the new application elevates its capacity to deal with moving clients’ substance between gadgets without the utilization of “particular links,” meaning the two telephones don’t need to be genuinely connected together to finish the interaction, as an additional advantage.
Google’s application is showing up numerous years after Apple’s application that aided change Android clients to iPhone. Back in September 2015, Apple sent off its Move to iOS application for Android clients which, remarkably, was its first application on Google Play (other than those from its obtaining Beats.).
