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 or newer (including the Pro, Pro Fold, and A-Series), you can use Android Switch to move your data anytime after setup, even if you don't have your other device.

Ratings and reviews

initial data transfer when setting up a new phone was interrupted because the phone died. Date was about 50% transfered (after nearly half an hour). Now the only way to complete the process is to factory reset the phone again. There really should be another option and it's ridiculous that there isn't. For that reason I'm only giving 2 stars. Please, fix this(!)

I keep going through my apps.. and finding not only apps installed without my knowledge, but second twin apps that say "assistant" or "agent." It started recently; apps sneaking onto my phone, changing system settings (I remove the permission and sometimes it turns it back on) and my searches get redirected, web pages open while I have my phone locked and I'm not using it. This is unsettling and has me wondering if it is connected to the data mining farms popping up.

I did not install this app and I cannot contact apps developer either, access is removed by an android developer to enable my data to be switched to a device I do not use or own. please remove this app from my account.
