Google has secretly launched a one-of-its-kind app for iOS. According to a recent report published on 9To5Google, the app can be downloaded free of cost and can be used for seamlessly transferring data from iPhones to Android devices. Google has named the app “Switch to Android” based on the work it has been designed to perform.
The app will work wirelessly, which means you’ll not need to connect the two devices using a cable for transferring data.
The App store describes the Switch to Android app by Google as an application meant for moving crucial data types such as calendar events, contact, videos, and photos securely and quickly to a new Android phone/tablet without using any fussy cable.
Here, it must be noted that the list of transferable data doesn’t include messages. This means you will not be allowed to transfer messages using this app. However, the app will explain the method of turning off iMessage, which will ensure that the user doesn’t miss texts sent by family and friends.
The 9To5google report claims that the Switch to Android app is categorized as an unlisted application. As a result, users will not find it on their iPhone’s App Store. Even Google has not yet made it clear when they are planning to make the app available officially on the App Store. For now, the app can only be downloaded using a direct link.
