00:00Google and Apple Collaborating to Allow Easy Switching Between Them

00:04Report

00:05Google and Apple are now working together to make it easier to move from one phone platform to the other.

00:11Code in the latest Android Canary build shows the two firms have begun adding a new switch flow that will appear during device setup.

00:18Apple has said it will add the same feature to a future iOS 26 release.

00:23The work is just starting in developer channels and will help with data transfer between Android and iPhone.

00:29Google and Apple are reportedly working together to make switching between their mobile OS easier.

00:35Android Canary 2 512 introduces new code that lets people transfer more types of data while they set up a new phone.

00:42As one report put it, this will be available during the device setup process.

00:47Google's Canary Rollout names the feature as Android Canary 2 512 on all pixel devices.

00:53Apple plans to test the same experience in an iOS 26 developer beta.

00:58Developers and testers will get early versions first, not the general public.

01:02Both companies warn that these early builds are unstable.

01:06As always, Android Canary and iOS developer betas are not intended for general use and might have other performance issues.

01:13It is a reminder that the feature will take time to reach Android beta channels and a final iOS release.

01:18This feature, once released widely, would help users in transferring data between the two operating systems with ease.

01:25The new code might even improve apps currently in use, such as Google's Android Switch and Apple's move to iOS.

01:31It might build the process directly into the setup and support extra data types.

01:36Regulators in some regions have been pushing for better interoperability, and this effort looks like a direct response to that pressure.
