“Transferred to iOS”: Apple speeds up iPhone change app for Android

Apple has placed its iPhone migration app for Android, “Move to iOS” or “transferred to iOS”, in an improved version in the play store. The update 4.0.2, which has been available for a few days, is to accelerate the transfer of data and improve the “general use experience”, as the iPhone manufacturer reports in his package insert.

Cable and also personal hotspot possible

“Transferred to iOS” serves to cover central content and settings from an Android device to an iPhone. This applies, for example, contacts, calendars, Google accounts, photos, WhatsApp content, accessibility settings, news and more. Individual areas are excluded for technical reasons, but the scope of data usually represents a good starting point for Android switchers to the iPhone. “Transferred to iOS” in version 4.0.2 can now migrate faster if iPhone and Android device has been connected to the cable-a function that you already knows from iPhone to iPhone.

Technically, this should work with both USB-C and USB-C-after-lighting cables, whereby you should not use pure charging cables for USB-C-USB-C connectors, as this only enables slow data transmission. Alternatively, you can also connect via WLAN or a one provided by the iPhone personal hotspot produce.

Call history (s), SIM labels and language memos

What is also new is that the call history can now be transmitted – a feature that has been missing so far. If several SIM cards are stored, their label is now also brought to the iPhone. Finally, voice recordings from the language memo app and the files app can be migrated, which, however, has to do with the file format used, as Apple reports.

In addition, ten new languages ​​from South Asia were added to the app, including Punjabi, Urdu, Tamil, Odia and Telugu. “Transferred to iOS” can be downloaded free of charge from the Play Store and works with numerous newer iPhones. Apple has one Instructions for use published, which, however, does not yet know the latest app version. Transfer to iPads is also possible.
