With Its First Android app, Apple tried to Kill Android Community, But Failed Badly!

Are you a Die Hard Android Fan?

If you are also one of those millions Android fans, for whom the brand has turned into an insane religious devotion, then Apple has something that could give you second thoughts.

Apple is losing control, wants you to ditch your Android!

Few days ago, Apple made its debut on Google Play Store with its First App, called “Move to iOS”, for Android Users.

With its first ever Android app, Apple tried to kill Android Community and fans, But failed badly!

Apple’s new app works as an “Uncalled Assistance” in a manner where you have bought a new iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch and are confused about how to migrate data from your current Android device.

Apple’s ‘Move to iOS’ app is designed to help Android users transfer their content quickly and safely from an Android device to an iOS device.

The Apple App will help you in Migrating Data, like:

• Calendars
• Camera photos and videos
• Contacts
• Mail accounts
• Message history
• Web bookmarks

How does It work?

Now, it is time for the synchronization between the two devices shall begin.

The app will create a private Wi-Fi session from your iOS device and will pick your Android device loaded with Move to iOS app for the transfer of data to start.

Then open ‘Move to Android’ interface on your iOS device and after you Tap start, a 10-digit security code will pop-up which you’ll have to enter on your Android device with ‘Move to iOS’ screen on display.

After this, you can select your content from your Android device that you wish to transfer by tapping Next button and set up your new iOS device.

However, remember one thing, don’t let any distractions like a phone call to occur, because if they do the transfer will stop, and you’ll have to start all over again.

For smooth transfer of data, choose a time when the chances of getting distracted are less.

Why? While going through the user's responses at Play Store, we found some interesting reviews:

“Seriously? You think people want to move to a restricted ecosystem that won't even allow you to try apps before you buy??” Another Android users commented.
