If you’ve ever thought about switching from Android to iPhone but are worried about losing your data or facing a clunky transition, Apple just made that process a whole lot smoother. The company has rolled out a major update to its Move to iOS app on the Google Play Store, and it’s packed with features that make the switch faster, easier, and more complete.
Faster Transfers With a Cable
One of the biggest improvements is the support for faster data transfers using a cable connection.
If you use a USB-C to USB-C cable (or USB-C to Lightning), you can now transfer data from your Android phone to your iPhone much more quickly than before. No more waiting around for hours—Apple has finally caught up with what users have long wanted: a reliable, high-speed transfer method that actually works.
iOS Tips During Migration
For users who are brand new to Apple’s ecosystem, the updated app now displays helpful iOS tips during the migration process. These mini-guides introduce users to key features and basic functions, helping make the learning curve a little less steep.
Whether it’s understanding the Control Center or learning how to use widgets, these prompts can help users hit the ground running with iOS.
More File Types Now Supported
Apple has also improved the app’s data handling capabilities in meaningful ways.
- Voice recordings from your Android device can now be transferred directly to your new iPhone. Depending on the format, they’ll land in the Voice Memos app or the Files app.
- The app also supports call history, call recordings, and even Dual SIM labels, ensuring a more complete and personalized migration.
These updates close some of the gaps that previously left users with incomplete data transfers.
Support for Indian Regional Languages
As part of Apple’s growing focus on the Indian market, the Move to iOS app now supports multiple regional languages, including:
Bangla, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu.
This change makes the app more accessible for users in one of Apple’s fastest-growing markets—and it’s a welcome step toward more inclusive tech.
Available Now on Google Play
Despite its mixed reputation, the Move to iOS app remains Apple’s only official and free solution for Android users switching to iPhone. It helps transfer:
- Contacts
- Messages
- Photos and videos
- Email accounts
- Calendars
- And now, even voice memos and call data
The latest version is available now for download from the Google Play Store.
