Apple makes it pretty easy to transfer your data from an old iPhone to a new one. But perhaps unsurprisingly, it hasn't been as helpful in moving you off iOS to Android—until now.

Apple's iOS 26.3, which arrived this week, includes a Transfer to Android feature that lets you easily move data from an iPhone to an Android device (or iPad to Android tablet) with one tap.

To get started, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset Phone > Transfer to Android.

Then, place your Apple and Android devices next to each other and tap Continue on your iPhone or iPad. On your Android, use the Camera app to scan the setup process QR code on the iPhone.

Select the data that you want to transfer, like photos, contacts, calendars, call history, or messages. Not everything will transfer over, including health data and previously connected accessories. Then tap Continue.

After your data transfer is complete, tap Continue to transfer your eSIM. Double-click the side button on your iPhone or iPad when prompted to confirm the eSIM transfer.

Last year, Apple and Google also came together to enable RCS messaging between their operating systems. (After some light bullying from Google, of course.) End-to-end encryption is up next, and was expected in iOS 26.3, but doesn't appear to be activated yet.

In November, meanwhile, Google teased a Quick Share update for Pixel 10 phones that lets users send videos, photos, and other files to a nearby iPhone via AirDrop. "We've heard from many people that they want a simpler way to share files between devices," Google said at the time. Apple was not directly involved in its development, but Google recently said support for more phones is expected soon.
