Once you are locked into an ecosystem -- Windows, Android, iOS, or macOS -- it's difficult to leave. Not only are you accustomed to the user experience, but moving files devices can be a pain. It is one of the many reasons why iPhone users do not often switch to Android phones. Now Google wants to do what it can to eliminate as much friction as possible for switchers.

Earlier this week, Google updated its Data Restore Tool for Android and added it to Google Play. After the listing appeared, 9to5Google took a peek inside of the app to see if anything noteworthy had been added. The search was a success. There are mentions of a "Switch to Android" app for iOS in the Data Restore Tool. At the time of writing, such an app doesn't exist on the Google Play store, which seems to suggest that an official announcement is coming soon.
