From now on it's easier to transfer photos from Android to iPhone

The collaboration between Apple and Google makes it easier to switch between the operating systems of the two companies. In a new update, Android users will be able to easily transfer their collection of photos and videos from Google Photos directly to Apple's iCloud Photos. The collaboration between Apple and Google is part of the Data Transfer Project initiative, which brings together the technology giants - Meta, Apple, Google, Microsoft and X (Twitter) - with the aim of enabling fast and secure data transfer between their platforms. While Apple users have enjoyed the reverse option for over three years now, Android users will also be able to enjoy the smooth transition.
