This, at least in theory, would make moving from an iPhone to an Android phone incredibly easy, with more data brought over than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Look, we were skeptical, but Paul Dunlop, who is the Product Lead for Android Onboarding and Android Settings, shared all of the details on the new Android Switch today and it sounds pretty awesome.<\/p>\n<p>The new Android Switch from iOS to Android brings over more info, more settings, all of your messages, home screen setups, eSIM, and more.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-switching-from-iphone-to-android-in-android-17\">Switching from iPhone to Android in Android 17<\/h2>\n<p>According to Dunlop, the new Android Switch is a \u201cground-up\u201d new experience for moving from an iPhone to Android with Android 17. It should be faster, even with WiFi doing the transfers now.<\/p>\n<p>In his recap, he shared that <strong>WiFi is the preferred method for transferring<\/strong> and there is \u201czero compromise\u201d in this move. You can still move things via wire if you want, but wireless will always be easier, should it work as he describes.<\/p>\n<p>Somehow, Google found a way to <strong>build this Android Switch functionality<\/strong> \u201cdirectly into the core of both Android and iOS.\u201d They also worked with Apple to develop new APIs for developers, so that if they decide to integrate the functionality into their apps, it brings over more data, securely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What all is transferred now?<\/strong> We don\u2019t have the entire list, but we have a pretty good one that includes all sorts of new items you probably wanted the last time you made this switch.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Migrating of passwords, passkeys, WiFi, and alarms are included now<\/li>\n<li>Complete Messages migration, so SMS, MMS, RCS, and iMessage conversations will move over. This includes large family group chats, reactions, stickers, and threads. This also means your iOS contacts stay seamless after switching.<\/li>\n<li>Home setups move over now too, so your wallpapers, home screen layouts, and app placements come&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.droid-life.com\/2026\/06\/17\/google-and-apple-made-it-insanely-easy-to-switch-from-an-iphone-to-android\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Switch From iPhone to Android and Bring All Messages, Apps, More https:\/\/www.droid-life.com\/2026\/06\/17\/google-and-apple-made-it-insanely-easy-to-switch-from-an-iphone-to-android\/ Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":274679,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.droid-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Pixel-10-Pro-iPhone-17-Pro-1200x628.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-274678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-ios"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274678"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274678"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274678\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":274680,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274678\/revisions\/274680"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/274679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
