iOS 19 May Support Transferring eSIM to an Android Device

IOS 19 is expected to introduce a feature that allows users to wirelessly move their eSIM from an iPhone to a compatible Android phone through a new 'Transfer to Android' option found in the device's Settings.
This development follows discoveries of related code in the Android 16 QPR1 beta and Google's SIM Manager app, suggesting collaboration or preparation for cross-platform eSIM transfers.
The transfer method entails the iPhone presenting a QR code for the Android device to scan, followed by the input of a session identifier and passcode created by the iPhone to finalize the process.
Currently, switching eSIM from iPhone to Android requires contacting carriers and using new activation codes, but this feature could remove that step and ease platform switching.
If launched, this feature would mark a significant step toward simplifying cross-platform mobile connectivity and might be officially announced at WWDC 2025.
