Excellent news! Google improves the transition from an old mobile to a new one, and from iPhone to Android

Great news especially for those who tend to change their smartphone more often. Gradually, starting next year, Google will make this experience much more comfortable and clear with four improvements. The new features will also help those who switch to Android from their iPhone.

Lay people, corporate hardware administrators or even mobile phone reviewers know this very well. Switching from one Android mobile to another is not a very fun task. Sometimes third-party applications will help, or in the case of switching from an older generation of the same brand to a newer one, even the manufacturer’s built-in applications. Over time, Google improved this functionality and it is already there today Android Switch quite an easy and clear matter. But there is always room for improvement.

Therefore, starting next year, we will see 4 upgrades that will make the transition from one smartphone to another even more efficient. Google (Alphabet) about them writes on his blog.

1. Android Switch app – a clear form of how to get not only data, but also everything else from one mobile phone to another. For example, WiFi passwords, Google account settings, etc. Google has worked directly with selected mobile manufacturers to make the transition smooth and painless for the widest possible constellation of Android devices.
2. When switching from an iOS device to Android with a cable connection, the data transfer will be o 40% faster compared to 2023. It will especially please users who keep tens of gigabytes directly in the mobile memory and then the transfer is a matter of almost half a day.
3. A complete novelty will be the possibility to first “run” the new Android smartphone and up to later withand you decide if and when you want transfer old data from another mobile phone. It should be more convenient to find out whether the new mobile phone is suitable and not to download backups unnecessarily. This feature will first be available for the smartphone family Pixel 9 and will later be extended to other brands as well.
4. Google also reminds you that you don’t have to worry about switching from iOS to Android because Apple already supports it RCS (Rich Communication Services). Sending regular messages between an Android mobile phone and an iPhone therefore already supports additional functions such as responding to a message, adding and removing people to the chat, or correctly sending multimedia and smileys between the two platforms.
