iOS26.3 Switch To Android Feature?

[C7 POWER]

I just purchased a Samsung Fold 7, and I am trying to utilize the new iOS26.3 Transfer to Android feature. Has anyone successfully gotten this to work?

I am trying to see if this process would make it easy to bring over all my Keychain Passwords, etc?

Anyone have real experience with this yet?

I also tried placing both phones next to one another to begin the process as Google says to do, but all the iPhone does when I select the option to begin transfer is to open a QR Reader screen, and it states the Android phone should detect the iphone and I guess generate a QR?

The Android part might not be ready yet?

I know this is a PITA but it might be a good time to update all your passwords.

Webpages and apps with any care for security will see way to many red flags and set autocomplete/autofill to off (security tokens missing, UDID/Hardware ID change, different browser, no cookies, etc literally everything changes). So you'll likely need to enter the user and password manually the first time anyway (copy and paste from the password manager).

Sorry my advice is nothing like what you're asking for.

I returned the Fold 7. As amazing as the phone is, trying to switch from Apple after all these years to a Android phone was painful and a lot of manual work that was requiring way to much time, and I still would not be able to get it all as seamless as it is with Apple. UGH. I guess waiting for the iPhone Foldable now is the only option.

I get that. If you don't have the time to learn Android then you won't like it. We all would like to learn a foreign language, but it's a lot of work. And the best way to do it is immersive exposure and that takes a couple months. Dive into the deep end with Android RSS feeds, Android subreddits, Android podcasts, etc. and you will grasp it quickly. But it is a time investment.

If you want to try again in the future, I would recommend moving as much of your digital life into platform agnostic services as possible. It shouldn't matter if you are on Android, Mac, Windows, etc. to access your stuff. Consider switching Keychain to Bitwarden. It's available everywhere. Then look at the other Apple-only services you use and find alternatives that work for you.

It wasn’t learning Android, that part is pretty simplistic, but having no real way to port the passwords, was the biggest issue, plus I tried Open Bubbles which at first worked seamless to keep imessage at first but then it had major issues. The complication of merging data is what killed it for me though.
