Initially, when Google released the app it was limited to its Pixel devices, but now the Switch to Android supports all Android 12 phones. Support for all Android 12 phones makes this app a necessity when moving from an iPhone to a new Android device.

When using this free iOS app, a transfer process is initiated by displaying a QR code on the iPhone, once scanned the transferring of photos, videos, contacts, and calendar events starts. What makes this app unique is the fact that it allows users to transfer data wirelessly instead of having to connect two phones via a cable. Although the cable option has been observed to perform faster and is better suited to transferring larger amounts of videos and photos.
