Set up your new Android. It’s easier than ever.

The iOS-to-Android transfer process has been upgraded so your eSIM, Google Account, passwords, photos, messages, contacts and more can now migrate wirelessly or with a cable from your iPhone® to your new Android device. This is coming soon to select Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel devices.

The upgraded switch method is available on select devices running Android 17, and will be rolling to more devices soon. For more information on device compatibility, see here.

If you use Google Password Manager or a third-party app, your passwords will work seamlessly on Android. If you use Apple Passwords, the upgraded switch method will automatically transfer them to Google Password Manager, whereas the classic switching method will guide you through a few quick manual steps.

Most free apps will move over automatically when you transfer your data. For purchased apps on your iPhone®, we recommend contacting the app developer.

Your existing subscriptions will continue to work, but your billing will still be managed the way it is today — either via the app developer or the App Store.

If you are using the upgraded switch method, WhatsApp data is transferred separately after the initial setup. Learn more here

If you are using the classic switch method, you will have the opportunity to transfer your WhatsApp chats when you transfer your data during setup. You will need to use a cable to connect your iPhone® to your new Android and follow the on screen instructions. Learn more here.

If you previously backed up data with Google One, you can restore your content, data and settings without your old device. During setup, skip “set up using another device” and choose to restore from your backup.

Make sure to connect to Wi-Fi and sign into your Google account during setup to select available backups.

You can also transfer iCloud data and photos by visiting privacy.apple.com.

You can request a copy of your iCloud photos and videos to transfer to Google Photos. Visit privacy.apple.com to start the process. Request to transfer a copy of your data and sign in to your Google Account.

Yes, you can transfer data after setup. On your new Android go to Settings > Accounts & Backup > Android Switch. If you’re on a Samsung, go to Settings > Accounts & Backup > Smart Switch. Other devices may require their own transfer apps. Learn more here

If you have the upgraded switch method, your eSIM will automatically transfer during device setup.

If you have the classic method, wait until after setup to begin the transfer in Settings on your new Android phone.

Note that while eSIM transfer is broadly available, it is carrier-dependent. If your carrier doesn't support automatic transfer, please contact them for support.
