With the release of Android 12, new updates and improvements continue to come. Google announced in a statement that they have brought a new innovation that will make the work of users easier. Thanks to this update, data transfer between Apple and other Android devices will be very comfortable.
With the new update, it’s easier to change phones!
Switching to a new phone can be a daunting experience, especially if you’re switching to a completely different operating system. Wanting to make this process easier, Google added the ability to transfer all your basic needs by connecting iPhones to Android phones using a cable with the latest Android 12 version.
Android automatically pairs and starts installing the same apps from Google Play with your permission. It allows you to easily transfer your SMS and iMessage history along with your photos, videos, contacts, calendar notes and more.
In addition, the company announced that the new development allows for more. In the past, switching from an iPhone to Android could be a frustrating experience. Some basic data type differences in operating systems made transfer impossible. Leaving behind valuable memories like your WhatsApp chat history, photos, voice messages, and conversations with friends and family were really what users didn’t like. Google finally got their hands on this and managed to solve this problem. Starting today, you can safely transfer your chat history and memories from your WhatsApp account on iPhone to Android. It is among the information that the engineers of the two companies worked together throughout this operation.
Just one cable is enough
First, all you need is a USB-C-Lightning cable to start the transfer. Just connect your phones and scan a QR code that will appear on your old iPhone’s screen. As the system sets up your new Android device, it will automatically stream all your conversations, media and more.
Two companies worked together
The Google team says they prioritize security during this transfer. While your WhatsApp chat history is copied from iPhone to Android phone, it will be automatically ensured that no new notifications are received on the old device.
This transfer feature has started to be used primarily on Samsung Galaxy devices and all Pixel phones. This feature will also be available on new smartphones released with Android 12 in the future.
