  Wireless data transfer in Android 17: Samsung’s new Android 17 migration feature, launched at Galaxy Unpacked on July 22, 2026, enables direct wireless transfer of critical data from iPhone to Android without needing a separate app. This includes photos, videos, contacts, messages, calendars, Google accounts, passwords, Wi-Fi credentials, and eSIMs — all in one step. For iPhone users, this means you can switch to Android devices like the new Z Flip8 or Z Fold8 series immediately without losing key data. If you’re planning a switch, start by checking your Pixel device compatibility since the feature is rolling out to select Pixel devices first.

  Which devices support this transfer: The migration tool is currently available on select Pixel devices and will roll out to the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 and Z Fold8 series starting immediately. Future Android devices will also receive this feature as part of the Android 17 rollout. For iPhone users, this means you can switch to Samsung’s latest devices without waiting for a full update — but if you’re on an older Android phone, you’ll need to wait for the Android 17 update to get the feature. Check android.com/switch for real-time device compatibility lists to avoid delays.
