You\u2019re switching from iPhone to Android, which is great!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are a few very important things you need to know before jumping in with both feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/apple-android.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/apple-android.png 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/apple-android-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/apple-android-610x338.png 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/apple-android-80x44.png 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Switching Takes Some Work &amp; Some Things Must Stay Behind<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While Apple makes an Android app to help you switch to their phones, it\u2019s no surprise that they don\u2019t offer one to help you switch to the competition. The good news is that the stuff you most likely want to transfer from your iPhone to your new Android phone can simply be shifted over using cloud services.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you have <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/how-to-optimize-your-google-drive-storage\/\" target=\"_blank\">Google Drive<\/a> installed on your iPhone and you log into your Android phone with the same Google account credentials, it will import your contacts, passwords and all the other data Google stores on your behalf on that new phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/android-device.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68101\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/android-device.jpeg 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/android-device-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/android-device-610x407.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/android-device-75x50.jpeg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Files stored in your iCloud account can also be accessed from your new Android phone by simply logging into the iCloud website from a browser. From there you can simply download the photos stored there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one thing you can\u2019t transfer are apps. With the exception of apps which are attached to a subscription or cloud account, you\u2019ll have to rebuy any apps that also have an Android version. This can be a significant additional cost, so it&#8217;s worth checking how much your favorite apps will cost you a second time around on Android.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>There\u2019s No Standard Interface<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using any iOS device, be it an iPad or an iPhone, will give you more or less exactly the same experience. There are some concessions to the hardware and use cases for the different devices in the range, but by and large all iOS devices look and feel the same in terms of interface experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixel-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixel-4.png 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixel-4-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixel-4-610x380.png 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixel-4-80x50.png 80w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixel-4-70x43.png 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While there is a \u201cstock\u201d Android experience, almost no Android handset uses it. It\u2019s mainly Google\u2019s own Pixel devices that provide the pure Android operating system. Other handset makers, such as Samsung, develop their own custom interfaces and modifications of Android. Whether you like these or not depends on you, but two Android handsets may feel so different that it\u2019s hard to believe they run the same operating system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, some companies actually do a good job of mimicking the look and feel of iOS. Notably Xiaomi\u2019s Mi UI, which really does feel like a classic iOS device. That could actually be seen as a good transitional option for ex-iPhone users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>You\u2019ll Have to Wait for Software Updates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As an iPhone user, you\u2019re used to Apple announcing a new iOS update and then getting to download it almost immediately after release. On Android things are very, <em>very<\/em> different.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/android-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/android-10.png 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/android-10-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/android-10-610x352.png 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/android-10-80x46.png 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Google will release a new version of Android and then each phone maker will start their own modification process. This means you\u2019ll only get that new version of Android months later, if you get it at all, since some handsets will be abandoned entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that the big names, such as Samsung, have started to break up their updates so that critical security features and bug remedies are available quickly. You also have the option of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/how-to-root-a-galaxy-s5-s6-s7-s8-s9-s10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">rooting<\/a>\u201d your Android phone and installing stock Android on it, but this is a power-user option that\u2019s not for the faint of heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Malware Is a Real Concern<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the exception of jailbroken iOS devices, Apple keeps an incredibly tight grip on the app ecosystem of their devices. One advantage of this is that malicious applications are rare to nonexistent on iPhones. On Android, which is an open platform, there\u2019s no such safety net.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"359\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/malware.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/malware.jpeg 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/malware-300x158.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/malware-610x322.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/malware-80x42.jpeg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use a reputable app store such as Google Play when switching from iPhone to Android, you\u2019ll probably be OK. However, even then problematic apps can slip through. So never assume that an app can be trusted and consider using some form of anti-malware software on your Android device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Apple Subscription Services Are Spotty On Android<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are only two Apple apps on Android. The first is the aforementioned utility that lets you switch to iPhone. The other is the Apple Music app. That\u2019s it. If you love Apple TV+, Apple Arcade or Apple Music you may be in for a rough time on Android.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Apple-Music.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Apple-Music.png 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Apple-Music-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Apple-Music-610x323.png 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Apple-Music-80x42.png 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple Music actually works pretty well, but Apple TV is only accessible via a browser which is very unstable. Apple Arcade is iOS-only, which we don\u2019t suppose surprises anyone. As mentioned above as well, iCloud can only be used via your browser and not everything works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Apple Messaging Services Are Gone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/computer-tips\/is-your-messaging-app-really-secure\/\" target=\"_blank\">iMessage<\/a> and FaceTime have dedicated fan bases, but you won\u2019t find Android versions of these services. Instead, you\u2019ll have to permanently switch to something like Skype or <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/how-to-set-up-a-whatsapp-group\/\" target=\"_blank\">WhatsApp<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"244\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/WhatsApp-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68098\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/WhatsApp-1.png 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/WhatsApp-1-300x108.png 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/WhatsApp-1-610x219.png 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/WhatsApp-1-80x29.png 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This is probably not going to be that much of a problem for you, since you probably had these apps on your iPhone as a way to speak to non-Apple users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>You\u2019re In Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While iOS has been opening itself up to users more and more, it\u2019s still not nearly as open as Android. You get full access to the Android file system and can install software from any source. That includes alternative app stores or just direct installation of Android \u201capk\u201d packages. A practice known as \u201csideloading\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/android.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/android.jpeg 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/android-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/android-610x406.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/android-75x50.jpeg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This is both a good and a bad thing, since it means you can end up installing software that causes privacy problems or data damage. The good news is that most Android phones have side loading disabled by default, if this is something that worries you. However, if you do decide to give it a go, make sure you know the risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>We\u2019re Not So Different, You and iPhone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are some important differences between iOS and Android, as phone operating systems in day-to-day use they\u2019re pretty similar. Most people are going to be up to speed within a day or two going from one to the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there\u2019s no reason to be apprehensive about moving away from Apple\u2019s walled garden when you\u2019re switching from iPhone to Android. If you pick a good Android phone with one of the better custom interfaces (or even stock Android!) you\u2019ll feel right at home in no time at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you\u2019ve decided that the latest iPhone just isn\u2019t for you.
