Features & Capabilities

Android Switch is installed on your Android device so you can securely copy photos, videos, contacts, and more from another phone during setup. It enables cross-platform data transfer between Android and iOS devices and can copy apps and other data during initial setup.

If you have a Pixel 9 or newer (including Pro, Pro Fold, and A-Series), you can move your data anytime after setup, even if you don't have the other device.
