Google and Apple Partnering on Android-iPhone Switching (No, Really) — Here's How It Could Work
The update, starting with Pixel devices, will streamline data transfers and add support for more data types during the device setup process, Apple and Google said.
- Today, Apple and Google began rolling out upgraded switching via Android Canary 2512 on Pixel devices.
- Apple and Google teamed up to make switching between Android and iPhone easier through a joint collaboration focused on simplifying data transfer between Android and iOS.
- During device setup, Google and Apple say the tools will appear, with Google planning to add features to Android Beta before launch while users can use Apple's Move to iOS app and Google's Android Switch app.
- Timing remains unclear as Android support rolls out device-by-device; there is no word on when the iOS 26 developer beta will release, and Android Canary and iOS developer betas may have performance issues.
- No specific feature list has been published, and beta testing should expand functionality and support for more data types, while Apple's iOS 26.2 RC does not yet include the cross‑platform upgrades.
