Overview
- The new option appears under Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Transfer to Android in the iOS 26.3 developer beta available worldwide.
- Transfers occur wirelessly with both phones on current software, connected to Wi‑Fi with Bluetooth on, and can be initiated via QR code or a session ID with a pairing code.
- Supported data types include photos, messages, notes, apps, passwords, and a phone number, removing the need for a separate switching app.
- Apple says health data, Bluetooth‑paired devices, and protected items such as locked notes are excluded from migration.
- Google offers a reciprocal Android‑to‑iPhone flow, and the European Commission has said the work was designed to comply with the Digital Markets Act.
