With iOS 26.3, Apple is making it simpler for iPhone users to transition to an Android smartphone, with new built-in tools for transferring data. The new transfer tool allows an iPhone user to place their device next to an Android device to initiate a transfer process. With the two smartphones connected, users can opt to move over photos, messages, notes, apps, passwords, phone number, and more. Data transfers occur with no need to download and use a separate app, making the process simpler.
Nice to have the option I guess, but I’ve yet to encounter a platform migration tool that didn’t make a complete mess of something, not to mention the fact they transfer however many years of cruft along with everything else.
It’s like moving house and bringing all the dust with you.
I find it’s far easier to just have a clean slate and manually transfer data that matters.
