At the Android Show 2026, Google rolled out a sweeping revamp of the iOS-to-Android migration.
Migration overhaul
Kicking off with Android 17, swapping an iPhone 17 Pro for devices like the Pixel 11 Pro or Galaxy S26 Ultra should be smoother than ever, Google swears.
New device support
The data transfer is expected to include:
Data transfer scope
The updated migration tool will roll out first on Pixel and Samsung gear. It should drop with One UI 9.0 on the Galaxy Z Flip8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 this July, followed by the Pixel 11 Pro this fall. Other Android OEMs will get the update later in the year.
Rollout timeline
As for Quick Share, Google says it's widening its footprint. After a pilot on Pixel 10, AirDrop-like file sharing will be available on more devices from Samsung, OnePlus, Xiaomi, and friends, letting them share with iPhones and Macs.
Quick Share expansion
Android 17 is expected to be fully unveiled at Google I/O 2026 on May 19, with a stable official launch anticipated as early as June or July 2026.
