Recently, Shi Chao was tossed by two apps and lost his temper.
The specific reason for the matter is this, a while ago I brushed a news on the Internet, saying that Google has launched an official transfer tool that can help us smoothly switch from iPhone to Android:
Seeing this tool from Google, I was immediately interested in it, knowing that Apple next door as early as 2015, on the Google Play Store on the shelves of the official transfer tool "transfer to iOS".
Today, the cumulative number of downloads of the app on the Google Play Store has reached 100 million+, which means that tens of millions of people have moved from the Android camp to iOS during this period:
After Google's "transfer to Android" is listed on the App Store, they are equivalent to digging the wall on each other's turf to grab users. This is the exchange of etiquette
So Shichao found two iPhones and two Android machines, planning to help you try how these two transfer tools are used, but I didn't expect to end up rolling over...
Let me first talk about this "transfer to iOS" of fruit development.
To migrate data from Android to iPhone with the help of this app, we first need to download "Transfer to iOS" on our Android phone, and then select "Transfer data from Android device" on our iPhone:
At this point, iPhone will give us a one-time code for us to enter on our Android device:
After entering this code into my Android phone, I encountered the first problem, that is, How Android could not connect to the hotspot of the iPhone:
Later, after I tried to delete the WiFi that the phone was originally connected to, the problem was solved, and then the phone jumped to the data transfer interface.
Poor friends can see that "transfer to iOS" supports transferring data is still quite a lot, in addition to text messages, contacts, it also supports transferring album photos, and even can transfer files in folders:
However, when I chose the data I wanted to transfer and clicked Continue, I soon encountered the problem that the Android phone could not detect the iPhone:
Obviously, two phones are nearby, and my Android phone has been connected to the hotspot of the iPhone, but it just prompts me to connect incorrectly, and I have tried this several times in a row.
Then I went online to search for how to solve it.
This is not searched, a search to know, the original problem is not only encountered by me, many people on the Internet have encountered this problem:
Under this post, I saw that some netizens said that as long as you go to the Android phone WiFi settings to manually enter the password to connect to the iPhone hotspot can be solved, but I actually tried it or not...
In the end, I still reverted to iPhone, and then skipped the step of setting the lock screen password, so that the data could finally start transferring:
Just when I thought that the next time I waited for it to finish, a new problem appeared, and when it was halfway through the transmission, a transmission error popped up, causing my previous wait to be given directly to:
I didn't believe in evil and re-passed it again, but halfway through the transmission, I still encountered transmission errors, and it still didn't work after about three or four hours of tossing and turning, at this time I didn't want to toss anymore, just do it.
No wonder the app only got a 2.9 rating on the Play Store...
In the end, ShiChao simply looked at it, and only more than 7,000 photos of the more than 15,000 photos saved on the Android phone were successfully transferred to the iPhone, but the albums I originally built were all synchronized:
The text messages and contacts on my Android phone were all transferred to the iPhone, which was a bit of a surprise to me, because I thought it would only be half transmitted like the photos:
Including the calendar, the reminders I set on my Android phone have also been successfully transferred to the calendar that comes with the iPhone:
As for other settings such as display settings and accessibility settings, they do not seem to have been transferred.
In summary, if you plan to use "Transfer to iOS" to migrate data from Android to iPhone in the future, I personally recommend that you only send text messages, contacts and calendars, and the photos will rely on cloud disks to transmit it.
Otherwise, you are likely to encounter a situation where the same photos as me are only half successfully transferred, and it is better not to pass them on...
Next up is Google's "move to Android".
I don't know if it's because the Android phone I found is a domestic machine, and the system is based on Android 11 deeply customized MIUI.
"Transferred to Android" let me use my iPhone to scan the QR code displayed on my Android device, but my Xiaomi phone couldn't find this code at all, and I was stuck in the first step...
It makes sense that I will encounter this problem.
Because now almost every domestic mobile phone manufacturer has launched its own ability to migrate iPhone data to Android phones, "transfer to Android" data that can be transferred, they can also be transferred:
Take Xiaomi's machine change function, which can transfer pictures, videos, contacts and calendars from iPhone to Xiaomi mobile phones in addition to Xiaomi.
It can even sync apps that you previously downloaded on your iPhone:
And Google's "transfer to Android" can only help you transfer contacts, calendars, photos and videos, I definitely prefer Xiaomi to change the machine, manufacturers do not adapt to it is not so important.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that compared with the previous twists and turns of transferring data from Android to iPhone, Shichao transferred data from iPhone to Android with the help of Xiaomi's own replacement function.
From this point of view alone, Guozi really should optimize the "transfer to iOS" software.
