About this app

Android Switch is already installed on your Android device so you can securely copy photos, videos, contacts, and more from another phone or tablet during setup.

Plus, if you have a Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro or Pixel 9 Pro Fold, you can use Android Switch to move your data anytime after setup, even if you don't have your other device.

Ratings and reviews

Hackers are using this app to swap your browser in and out with out you knowing. Meanwhile they've gotten your info and it does'nt matter how many times you change yor passwords. And I did not even download this app along with a bunch of other apps. I just woke up and found it incorporated with my phone system. So I can't even uninstall this app, it wont let me. Aswell as I have to put at least 1 star to share this.

In the app description, it says " you can use Android Switch to move your data anytime after setup, even if you don't have your other device" So where would I transfer my data from ? The cloud???? Then there would be no need for this app. Even when you have full data backup on, none of the actual data you needed backed up like Texts etc. There is no reason for this app , Every phone already has the ability to transfer data built in.

This app installed itself, presumably as part of an update. I do not want or need it. I have no intention of ever purchasing such a cheaply built mess of a phone that has characterized the pixel lineup from the beginning. Sneaking apps onto people's phones like this is extremely invasive, but I suppose I'm not that surprised given Google's track record.

What’s new
