14 DAY TRIAL // Google recently started rolling out the stable version of Android 7.0 Nougat and users have been finding all sort of neat features inside this new version of Android OS. The latest shows that Google may have offered users the option to migrate from iOS to Android in an easy way.
A user from Reddit performed a factory reset on his Nexus 6P and found out that Google may have provide the option to migrate from iOS to Android. The screen showed that the user needs to open their iPhone or iPad device, open Safari, go to android.com/switch and then follow instructions on the site.
The feature isn’t exactly new on an Android device, considering that HTC and Samsung have been offering it for some time now. Still, it’s refreshing to see it on a Nexus smartphone.
The option requires users to visit a website with instructions on how to migrate content from iOS to Android. The feature doesn’t seem to be an actual tool for transferring data automatically, but provides instructions and links to applications that would help users do just that.
It doesn’t really compare to solutions offered from Samsung or HTC, but it could be a first clue towards an automated Google app that would perform this task seamlessly.
Google should actually create an automated app, considering that Apple already has the “Move to iOS” app for migrating from Android to iOS.
For now, users migrating from iOS to Android will find all of the instructions and tools that they would on Android’s website.
