Switching from one iPhone to another is a breeze. Just bring the new phone closer to the existing phone and that’s it, all the data is transferred. On Android, the situation is also very simple: everything is saved in the Google account, and when we have the new phone, all we have to do is restore the copy. However, switching from iOS to Android is not that easy. Likewise, whether we come from iOS or Android, the restoration must be immediate. With the copy, we cannot configure the phone whenever we want.

For a long time, Google had an app to make things easier. Despite this, the process is still not ideal. The company is aware of this and has massively updated its app to make users’ jobs easier than ever.

Until now, only Google Pixel 9 could upload information from other phones. This is something that will change very soon.

This overdue restoration has made its way to Android along with Google’s flagship mobile device. With this function, we can basically configure the phone to start up and then recover the backup. The process is valid both when transferring information from one Android to another and when we switch from an iPhone.

Google has confirmed that this delayed restoration will reach all Android phones in 2025 and will no longer be exclusive to Google Pixels. This is excellent news that will allow users to switch phones without such headaches.
