📲 iOS-to-Android transfers are improving! Your passwords, photos, messages, apps, contacts, eSIM, & even your homescreen layout can migrate wirelessly from your iPhone to your new Android device. This new switching process launches first on Galaxy & Pixel devices this year.

@HarryBarnes @MishaalRahman The team have been making big improvements every year, but our new switching experience is a big step forward from what came before - it's a wireless-first experience, with broader support for more data types than before - including things like passwords, and even eSIM!

@MishaalRahman I thought @pauldunlop improved this last time?

🤝 Android is making it easier to share, switch, and connect securely Sharing is hard when not everybody has the same phone as you, which is why we're introducing new ways to stay connected regardless of what device you or your friends use. Here's what we're bringing 🧵

Even things like passwords, passkeys, eSIMs and more will come across - when these new features launch later this year, it'll be the best time ever to make the switch!

For the first time ever, it'll be possible to migrate all your most important data from iOS to Android, wirelessly and securely, without the need for apps, or desktop PCs in the middle.

Very excited that folks will soon get to play with our amazing new switching tools, which we've worked together with Apple to deliver for all our users. blog.google/products-and-p…

Lots of fun stuff coming to Android Onboarding, Settings and Backups in 2026, can't wait to share more soon. Looks like our friends at @AndroidAuth have spotted a few already! Happy New Year. androidauthority.com/android-backup…

Yesssssss! Congrats @LandoNorris , you did it! So so happy for you, and everyone at McLaren.

So excited for Abu Dhabi, come on @LandoNorris ! I still feel traumatised from 2021 with Lewis and Max, but I know history won't repeat itself this weekend! Let's do it!

Android is leading the way on defending users against scams and spam: 🌟"Android users were 58% more likely than iOS users to say they had not received any scam texts in the week" 😮‍💨"iOS users were 65% more likely than Android users to report receiving three or more scam texts in a week" 🤠"Leviathan Security Group [...] found that Android smartphones, led by the Pixel 10 Pro, provide the highest level of default scam and fraud protection." security.googleblog.com/2025/10/how-an…

@HazelHMG Thousand of them here! Proper swarm.

Anyone else having a major ladybird infestation? Hundreds in my garden and a variety of colours.

Ladybird (ladybug) plague!!!

McLAREN ARE THE 2025 CONSTRUCTORS' CHAMPIONS! 👏 In a class of their own 👑 #F1

CONSTRUCTORS' WORLD CHAMPIONS 2025 🏆🧡 #McLaren

So so happy to see @McLarenF1 take back to back Constructors Championships at Singapore this weekend. As a life-long McLaren fan, it's been a long time since we last did this. Huge congrats to @ZBrownCEO and the whole team! Now let's go clinch that Drivers Championship too 🎉

When I learned that the new Pixel 10 phones all support magnetic accessories and wireless charging without a case, I knew exactly what to do...

iOS 26 Adds Support for Transferring an eSIM to and From Android macrumors.com/2025/06/13/ios…

Can't wait for the start of the new season. McLaren for the double this year! Come on Papaya!

@daecuadorianguy @DurrellXR Please contact the Google support team - they can help work through the issue and hopefully collect the bug reports needed for us to see why it's failing. Clearly a bug somewhere despite extensive testing. The support team should be able to help you.

@DurrellXR @pauldunlop I also tried sideloading the same exact same version on the 9 pro (20240813_00_RC02.phone) as my 7 Pro . Didn't work. For some reason the 9 Pro wouldn't update past 20240806_01_RC02 through the play store. So I am at a loss here. Not sure how to get this transfer to work

So excited for customers getting their hands on the new #Pixel9 and #Pixel9Pro today. For Setup and Data Transfer, this is our biggest release ever, with so many new features, improvements and fixes. I wanted to share a few of the highlights with folks. A thread:

@sidharth_raja @SkylledDev Thanks for the feedback. I've passed it to the Google Messages team to look at.

@SkylledDev cc: @pauldunlop ^^^

Google Messages Photomoji apparently don't transfer when switching phones, and that makes me sad. Memes should be eternal.
