Back in July last year, a report suggested that Google is working on a “Switch to Android” app for iOS users to help them easily migrate their local iPhone data, including contacts, messages, and apps, to a new Android device. It is slated to be similar to the “Move to iOS” app from Apple that already exists on the Google Play Store. Now, a new report reveals that the dedicated data transfer app might be able to transfer iCloud data directly to Google Photos. Let’s take a look at the details.
According to a recent APK teardown report from 9to5Google, Google has updated its “Data Transfer Tool” app to version 1.0.430697386. To recall, thE app works on the receiving end of the migration process. With this update, the company revealed more details about how its upcoming Switch to Android app will be able to automatically migrate iCloud photos and videos to Google Photos.
This method can help further simplify the process of data transfer from iOS to Android, which can be a hassle as of now. Currently, backing up data to Google Drive is the best choice.
