Phone and Tablet Tips

摘要

Apple has for some time offered an app called 'Move to iOS' , which lets you transfer data from an Android phone or tablet to an iPhone or iPad. So it seems only fair that Google has finally released a free app that lets you move in the opposite direction. Called 'Switch to Android', it's available from the Apple App Store and lets you copy data including your contacts, calendar events, photos and videos (see screenshot above) from your iPhone to your Android phone over your Wi-Fi connection. The four-step process also includes tips, such as turning off iMessage so you don't miss messages from friends and family, and information on how to transfer content from iCloud. Note that 'Switch to Android' asks you to grant a lot of permissions, but this is unavoidable in an app designed to move all your important data to a new phone and operating system.
