Summary
Android 17 introduced a built-in wireless migration tool that moves more iPhone data to Android without requiring a separate app.
eSIM support is the key new addition, alongside transfers for photos, videos, contacts, messages, calendars, Google Accounts, passwords and Wi-Fi credentials.
Select Pixel devices have already started receiving the upgrade, and Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Flip8 and Z Fold8 series will ship with it.
The feature was announced at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event, where Google also rolled out other Android and Gemini updates tied to the new foldables.
