You've probably already transferred conversations, photos and apps from one smartphone to another. In fact, it's something simple to do when you have devices with the same operating system. If you are leaving a cell phone iOS to start using Android, some things are not so easy. It is always necessary to reinstall or restore some app or file.

However, Google seems to be working on a tool to make life easier for the user. The feature would be a safe way to transfer iPhone files to Android phones.
According to the TechTudo website, the tool called “Migre para Android” would still be under development. A source code review indicated that the feature would allow users to back up iOS content. This could happen using a local network, without internet access or cable connection, for example.
In this way, it would be possible to transmit varied files, message histories, photos and videos. The approach is similar to those used by other content migration apps.
An example is Samsung's own SmartSwitch. He performs the process through a USB cable, connected to two devices. On the other hand, then, Google's procedure becomes more interesting, as it does not require cabling.
Google's current method, incidentally, consists of uploading files to the cloud and then downloading them again. However, it is a slow process and requires a good connection.
It is worth mentioning that there is still no official announcement about the new tool. The information was taken from code analysis
One of the biggest challenges involving the topic is when recovering conversations within WhatsApp. After all, the application backup is only compatible with devices of the same operating system.
In this sense, Google's new tool can also be useful. The latest update of Data Restore Tool published on Google Play has caught the attention of users. The application brought commands that make it possible to copy WhatsApp conversations and history.
At first glance, there seems to be no possibility of using the Switch to transfer chats. Instead, the app will give instructions on how to migrate the data. Just use the “Move Chats to Android” feature.
