The Android Switch app from Google helps you easily and securely move your photos, videos, contacts, and calendar events to a brand new Android device without a cable. Get important info about switching and follow the steps to set up your new device, like turning off iMessage so you don't miss text messages from friends and family. The app will ask you for a series of permissions so that your iPhone’s data can be moved to your Android device. Switching to Samsung? You don't need this app. Turn on your new phone and follow the instructions instead.
