Transferring photos and videos from Android to iPhone will be easier, thanks to a new feature from Google and Apple...

The worries about transferring data from Android to iPhone are about to end. Google and Apple are jointly testing a new feature that will allow direct transfer of app data, system settings, and notification preferences without any third-party apps. This feature is currently available to select users and is expected to be rolled out in the next six months.

How the feature looks and works
Google has included an early version of this feature in the Android Canary build released today. The company has also confirmed this to 9To5 Google. The purpose of this tool is to simplify the setup process when switching phones. Importantly, no separate app will be required for Android-to-iPhone data transfer; this tool will work during the initial setup process.

What data can be transferred?
Reports haven't provided much detail yet, but according to tipster Abhishek Yadav, this feature will be able to directly transfer app data, notification preferences, system settings, and app settings between iOS and Android. This will eliminate the need for users to manually set everything up again when setting up a new phone, making the entire process much smoother and faster.

Which devices will be supported, and when will the feature arrive?
Google has not yet made any announcements regarding the stable version of this feature. It is expected that the feature will be rolled out in phases. As for iPhones, Apple will release them through an iOS update. On the Android side, devices like the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, 10 Pro Fold, 9 series, 8 series, 7 series, 6 series, Pixel Fold, and Pixel Tablet are included in this beta support.
