How to easily switch from Android to IOS with Google apps | Daily News Byte

Switching to an iPhone after years of using an Android phone isn’t easy. You’re not just switching to a new phone but a new ecosystem. It’s a big change, and there are few people who won’t quit Google cold turkey for iCloud. Since you are familiar with an Android device and, more importantly, with Google services, you may wonder if there is a way to get all the goodness of an iPhone without giving up the comfort of the Android.

While Android 13 and iOS 16 are mostly standard, you can’t sideload apps, transfer files via Bluetooth, or create a guest account.

Keeping these restrictions in mind, here’s how to be comfortable with your new iPhone coming from Android.
