The long-awaited and rumored Switch to Android app was recently spotted on Apple’s App Store. While the digital store indicates it is intended to be used on iPhones, Google clarified that the app is not available to download yet.
Google has introduced several ways to help iPhone users easily switch to Android phones, but a one-stop app to carry out the process has yet to be launched. But TechCrunch found a standalone Switch to Android app on the App Store on Wednesday despite the lack of an official announcement from Google.
iPhone users can access the Switch to Android app’s page on the App Store through this link. But they will not be able to install it yet. In a statement to the same publication, Google confirmed the app cannot be downloaded at the moment. But there was no explanation as to why the app has been listed on the digital store already.
One of the main features of the Switch to Android app for iPhones is the ability to migrate various types of data without over-the-air. “The Switch to Android app from Google helps you quickly and securely move your most important data types – photos, videos, contacts, and calendar events — to a brand new Android device without fussy cables,” the official description on App Store reads.
In the screenshots included on the Switch to Android app page, iPhone users will find how the step-by-step transfer process will appear. One image shows separate toggles to allow users to choose what they want to copy from their iPhone to a new Android device. The app will also display an instruction on how to deregister from iMessage so that their text messages will be sent to their new Android phone. Another screenshot shows a guide to transferring photos stored on iCloud.
Google did not say when the Switch to Android app will be available to download. Its official websites and social media channels have not mentioned the app as of this writing, suggesting that the company might not be in a rush to fully launch the app.
