For the most part, Android users will stay Android users, and the same can be said for iPhone owners. Much of these preferences come from familiarity, so phone makers have been volunteering to cut the hassle with tools that help users switch to their side.
As spotted by TechCrunch, Google recently released a Switch to Android app for iOS users, the rivaling counterpart to Apple’s Switch to iPhone campaign.
Google says the app will help iOS users easily port over to Android by transferring their “most important data types—photos, videos, contacts, and calendar events” via iCloud, and in a “quick and secure” way.

There are also instructions for setting up Android devices and turning off iMessage, so users won’t stumble upon awkward situations by missing text messages.

Google already has a desktop Switch to Android website, but the iOS app will simplify the transition for Apple users considering an Android smartphone.
