Summary
- Android 17 introduces an updated Android Switch tool.
- The new tool is native to both Android and iOS and enables seamless transfer of tons of new data types, including passwords, RCS messages, and even third-party app data (with dev opt-in).
- The rollout is limited initially but will expand over the coming months.
With the release of Android 17, Google has also unveiled a major overhaul of Android Switch. The new tool is built into the OS and should mark a significant shift in the experience of moving from one platform to another.
